This lot consists of an antique engraving of a map of Dutch Brazil shows Povo and Olinda with numerous Dutch sailing ships in the attack on the Portuguese Olinda in 1630. Throughout most of the 17th century Portugal and Holland had a commercial agreement in which the Portuguese colonies in the New World produced sugar, and the Dutch distributed it across Europe using their vast commercial network. After the Kingdoms of Portugal and Spain merged, the Dutch lost their distribution monopoly and created the West Indian Company in 1621. Shortly thereafter the Dutch began its attack on Pernambuco, first at Salvador and then at Olinda.
