A fine view of the Dutch Forte Oranje on the island of Itamaraca in Brazil. From Montanus' "De Nieuwe en Onbekende Weereld: of Beschryving van America." Itamaraca was one of the first parts of Brazil to be settled by the Portuguese, and produced some the richest sugar plantations in the state of Pernambuco. Like Olinda, it was captured by the Dutch, who built an impressive fort as a safeguard against future attack.
