It appeared in Ramusio s 1556 Navigationi et Viaggi, the first collection of explorers first-hand accounts of their travels. The woodcut represents the first glimpse in print specifically of Brazil.

Some geographical elements appear to be derived from Gastaldi s 1546 and 1548 world maps - but unlike Ruscelli s ....
