DESCRIPTIONThis rare, superb Blaeu map is one of the finest maps of the lower Rio de la Plata, and the first map to name the Uruguay River. It covers what is now Uruguay, Paraguay, northern Argentina, and part of Chile in magnificent detail, illustrating the complicated regional river system, Argentina´s endoheiric lakes, and other bodies of water appear. Some, for example the Lago de los Caracaras flowing into the Corriente River, depict areas accurately that remain poorly mapped today. (The Caracaras would appear to be the Itatí Lagoon.) Mountains and highlands are shown pictorially. Numerous settlements and missions are named. With the assistance of a key in the lower left, one is able to differentiate indigenous settlements from Spanish cities (both extant and ruined,) clerical schools, Jesuit missions (both extant and ruined,) and Franciscan missions.

An Important Geographical Advance

O Blaeu Atlas Novus continha ao longo de sua longa história de publicação um mapa da região central da América do Sul, Paraguai, o Prov. De Rio De La Plata cum regionalibus adiacentibus. Embora fosse um belo mapa por si só, era ao mesmo tempo mais amplo em escala e mais primitivo em detalhes do que o presente trabalho. O novo mapa de Joan Blaeu centrou-se mais nitidamente na região a sul do paralelo 20, e fê-lo com muito mais detalhes granulares - o que só pode ter sido fornecido pelas missões jesuítas aí estabelecidas.

Assim, justificadamente, este mapa tem sido considerado um marco há muito tempo. O diplomata e estudioso brasileiro José Maria da Silva Paranhos Júnior listou-o entre importantes documentos históricos relativos à história das fronteiras sul-americanas na submissão de seu país à arbitragem dos Estados Unidos do tratado de setembro de 1889 entre o Brasil e a República Argentina. Desse mapa, Paranhos disse:

O primeiro mapa em que o Rio Uruguai aparece com este nome é aquele que os Jesuítas do Paraguai ofereceram ao Padre Carafa, Prefeito Geral da Companhia de Jesus de 1645 a 1649. Foi gravado em Amsterdã por Gerard Coeck para o Volume XI do Atlas. Maior de Joan Blaeu, publicado em Amsterdã no ano de 1662.

É muito valioso e o melhor dos mapas jesuítas para estudar a história das missões no século XVII e compreender os textos de Duran, Montoya, Techo e outros jesuítas, e muito interessante pela abundância de informação geográfica que apresenta para o primeiro época, indicando todas as grandes características de grande parte do interior da América do Sul.

Além disso, o mapa é uma obra lindamente gravada, com cartelas elegantemente emolduradas, florestas e montanhas retratadas pictoricamente e dois veleiros finamente executados. O mapa inclui uma dedicatória, em verso, a Vincenzo Carafa (1585 - 1649), sétimo Superior Geral da Companhia de Jesus. (Não se sabe se a dedicatória foi feita durante a vida do Superior Geral, ou se foi uma despedida acrescentada por Blaeu após a morte do gravador do mapa.)

Publication History and Census

O mapa foi gravado por Gerard Coeck por ordem de Joan Blaeu, o que deixa inexplicável o intervalo de mais de dez anos entre a morte de Coeck em 1645 e a primeira aparição deste mapa no atlas no Atlas Novus holandês de 1658. Está entre os mapas mais raros de Blaeu, aparecendo em apenas uma edição do Atlas Novus e posteriormente nas quatro edições de sua obra-prima Atlas Maior. Após a destruição pelo fogo da firma Blaeu em 1672, esta placa estava entre as vendidas a outros cartógrafos.

We have not seen, but are aware of reference to a 1688 issue of this map by De Ram (no plate change noted). The plate was thereafter acquired by London mapmaker Christopher Browne, who removed Blaeu´s imprint and added his own. As early as 1700 the plate returned to Amsterdam to be put in service by Peter Mortier. This c. 1690 Browne issue is the scarcest acquirable state. We see no examples of this map in OCLC (with Browne´s imprint but lacking those of Mortier or Covens and Mortier). Eight Mortier editions are so listed. Only ten examples with the Blaeu imprint are listed in institutional collections.

CARTOGRAPHERSJoan (Johannes) Blaeu (September 23, 1596 - December 21, 1673) was a Dutch cartographer active in the 17th century. Joan was the son of Willem Janszoon Blaeu, founder of the Blaeu firm. Like his father Willem, Johannes was born in Alkmaar, North Holland. He studied Law, attaining a doctorate, before moving to Amsterdam to join the family mapmaking business. In 1633, Willem arranged for Johannes to take over Hessel Gerritsz´s position as the official chartmaker of the Dutch East India Company, although little is known of his work for that organization, which was by contract and oath secretive. What is known is his work supplying the fabulously wealthy VOC with charts was exceedingly profitable. Where other cartographers often fell into financial ruin, the Blaeu firm thrived. It was most likely those profits that allowed the firm to publish the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, sive, Atlas Novus, their most significant and best-known publication. When Willem Blaeu died in 1638, Johannes, along with his brother Cornelius Blaeu (1616 - 1648) took over the management of the Blaeu firm. In 1662, Joan and Cornelius produced a vastly expanded and updated work, the Atlas Maior, whose handful of editions ranged from 9 to an astonishing 12 volumes. Under the brothers´ capable management, the firm continued to prosper until the 1672 Great Amsterdam Fire destroyed their offices and most of their printing plates. Johannes Blaeu, witnessing the destruction of his life´s work, died in despondence the following year. He is buried in the Dutch Reformist cemetery of Westerkerk. Johannes Blaeu was survived by his son, also Johannes but commonly called Joan II, who inherited the family´s VOC contract, for whom he compiled maps until 1712. More by this mapmaker...Gerard Coeck (1608-1645) was a Dutch engraver. Nothing is known of his training, and he died young at 37. Nevertheless, he was prolific, producing maps for Joan Blaeu, Pieter Goos, Jan Jansson, and Claes Janssen Visscher. Much of his output appears to have languished beyond his death. The map of Paraguay he engraved for Blaeu, for example, did not appear in an atlas until 1658. Many of his engravings remained in print unchanged well into the 18th century, a testament to the quality of his work. Learn More...Christopher Browne (fl. c. 1688 – 1712) was a British map seller, book seller, and publisher active in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Browne apprenticed with Robert Walton whose business he took over in 1688. Little is known of Browne´s life but he issued several maps in concert with the Overtons, Herman Moll, and Robert Morden. Brown appears to have retired in 1712, relocating to Chilthorne Domer, a picturesque village in Somerset, England. According to Worms and Baynton-Williams he was still alive as of 1737.

What is known is his work supplying the fabulously wealthy VOC with charts was exceedingly profitable. Where other cartographers often fell into financial ruin, the Blaeu firm thrived. It was most likely those profits that allowed the firm to publish the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, sive, Atlas Novus, their most significant and best-known publication. When Willem Blaeu died in 1638, Johannes, along with his brother Cornelius Blaeu (1616 - 1648) took over the management of the Blaeu firm. In 1662, Joan and Cornelius produced a vastly expanded and updated work, the Atlas Maior, whose handful of editions ranged from 9 to an astonishing 12 volumes. Under the brothers´ capable management, the firm continued to prosper until the 1672 Great Amsterdam Fire destroyed their offices and most of their printing plates. Johannes Blaeu, witnessing the destruction of his life´s work, died in despondence the following year. He is buried in the Dutch Reformist cemetery of Westerkerk. Johannes Blaeu was survived by his son, also Johannes but commonly called Joan II, who inherited the family´s VOC contract, for whom he compiled maps until 1712. More by this mapmaker... Gerard Coeck (1608-1645) was a Dutch engraver. Nothing is known of his training, and he died young at 37. Nevertheless, he was prolific, producing maps for Joan Blaeu, Pieter Goos, Jan Jansson, and Claes Janssen Visscher. Much of his output appears to have languished beyond his death. The map of Paraguay he engraved for Blaeu, for example, did not appear in an atlas until 1658. Many of his engravings remained in print unchanged well into the 18th century, a testament to the quality of his work. Learn More... Christopher Browne (fl. c. 1688 – 1712) was a British map seller, book seller, and publisher active in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Browne apprenticed with Robert Walton whose business he took over in 1688. Little is known of Browne´s life but he issued several maps in concert with the Overtons, Herman Moll, and Robert Morden. Brown appears to have retired in 1712, relocating to Chilthorne Domer, a picturesque village in Somerset, England. According to Worms and Baynton-Williams he was still alive as of 1737. Learn More...

Outro ponto, o parâmetro comparativo do algodão brasileiro e do norte-americano. A produção dos Estados Unidos figura como indicadora de qualidade e produtividade, em vista do país ter sido o maior fornecedor do mundo, e é trazida pelos viajantes quando desejam estimular a produção no Brasil, em especial, utilizando dados fornecidos por conhecedores do ramo.Nesse sentido, Richard Burton traz as considerações de um renomado pesquisador da cultura algodoeira, Major R. Trevor Clarke96 para quem “Aqui [no Brasil] o algodão tem mais penugem que o habitual; 600 quilos darão 250 de fibra limpa, ao passo que no Alabama são necessários 750 quilos. Em geral, o replantio do arbusto é feito em seu quarto ano”.97 E J. J. Aubertin traz a experiência dos americanos sulistas Dr. Gaston, Dr. Shaw e Major Mereweather, a quem ele acompanhou durante a passagem deles pela Província de São Paulo:Eramos cinco pessoas. Tres Americano sulistas, dr. Gaston, dr. Shaw e o major Mereweather, que ião fazer sua viagem prolongada, na exploração de districtos um pouco remotos, sob a direcção do sr. Engenheiro Bennaton, para esse fim nomeado; e, sendo informado dos seus preparativos, logo me aggreguei a elles, não menos por sympatia para com a antecipada immigração americana, como tambem pelo desejo de visitar em sua companhia algumas plantações de algodão, e tirar algumas instrucções de sua experiencia pratica, a respeito de uma cultura que, sendo hoje estabelecida na província, não póde deixar de influil-os cabalmente na resolução que definitivamente tenhão que tomar.98Durante a permanência na província paulista, o grupo visitou a região de Itu, Salto, Porto Feliz e Sorocaba, daí J. J. Aubertin seguiu para a capital paulista e eles continuaram viagem com destino à Itapetininga. As observações de diferentes aspectos da lavoura algodoeira e o processamento do algodão fizeram os norte-americanos considerarem o clima paulista adequado à produção e benéfico o fato de não haver mudanças bruscas na temperatura, como a ocorrência de geadas, possibilitando maior tempo de conservação do algodoeiro.99Esses dados são agregados por J. J. Aubertin àqueles fornecidos por produtores paulistas de que “emquanto o alqueire norte-americano, dando bem, produz de cem até cento e dez ou talvez 96 Richard Trevor Clarke (1813-1897) – “Army officer and horticulturalist. Major in the Northampton and Rutland Infantry Militia, 1862. Bred nearly thirty new varieties of begonias and many new strains of cotton. Awarded a gold medal by the Cotton Supply Association of Manchester. Member of the Royal Horticultural Society; served on the council and scientific committee for many year; awarded the society’s Veitchian medal, 1894”. BURKHARDT, Frederick et al (Ed.). Charles Darwin. The Correspondence of Charles Darwin (1866). Cambridge: Cambridge University, 2004, p. 502, vol. 14.97 BURTON, Richard Francis. Viagem de canoa de Sabará ao Oceano Atlântico..., op. cit., p. 29. [nota 3]98 AUBERTIN, J. J. Onze dias de viagem na Província de São Paulo com os Srs. Americanos Drs. Gastón e Shaw, e o Major Mereweather. 1865. Carta dirigida ao Illm. e Exm. Sr. Barão de Piracicaba. São Paulo: Typ. Allem[p. 159]

Os esforços de J. J. Aubertin devem ser compreendidos dentro desse contexto, em que ele se coloca como defensor da produção algodoeira paulista e atua em diferentes direções. No Brasil, escreveu para diversos periódicos nacionais e correspondeu-se com diferentes figuras da política brasileira para lhes solicitar o envolvimento com a lavoura algodoeira capaz de colocar São Paulo em posição favorável no mercado inglês, tal como fez o inglês em carta ao Comendador Fideles Prates:

Usai, vos peço, nesta vespera de uma nova semeadura, a vossa bem conhecida influencia entre os vossos amigos, e dizei aos cultivadores do algodão que redobrem os seus esforços na nova plantação, porque pela colheita futura é que se diciderá definitivamente a importante questão se a provincia de S. Paulo pode ou não pode occupar uma posição positiva nos mercados de Manchester.104

Aos agricultores interessados, ele também procurou difundir noções sobre a técnica de cultivar o algodão herbáceo e publicou folhetos sobre a cultura do algodão.105 Essa política de difundir informações sobre o cultivo foi uma atividade constante da associação inglesa, mesmo após o fim da guerra norte-americana.

No plano internacional, empenhou-se em apresentar os algodões paulistas de boa qualidade na Exposição Internacional de Londres, de 1862, com o objetivo de mostrar os atributos do produto. Também foi intermediador entre Manchester Cotton Supply Association e órgãos brasileiros; em duas ocasiões, nos anos de 1862 e 1865, J. J. Aubertin solicitou à associação britânica que enviasse algodão herbáceo ao Ministério da Agricultura e à Sociedade Auxiliadora da Indústria Nacional.106 Em diferentes momentos enviou para a Inglaterra amostras do algodão paulista, em geral, com boas avaliações dos correspondentes.J. J. Aubertin arquitetou ações no Brasil ligadas aos interesses ingleses baseadas em informações colhidas por ele na província ou com base na experiência de nacionais e, principalmente, de norte-americanos, com o propósito de deixar claro as potencialidades de São Paulo e convencer os potenciais produtores paulistas. Para aqueles que mesmo assim estivessem em dúvida, ele escreve:

Deveras, já é tarde demais para duvidar do algodão de São Paulo; mas se ainda ha descrentes, apenas apello para os dous srs. Cultivadores que acompanhei, major Mereweather e dr. Shaw. Ambos elles me repetirão muitas vezes, que melhor algodão que aquelle que nos vimos não desejavão ver; que nas suas proprias plantações e com todos os seus meios perfeitos não costumavãoproduzir melhor. 107

Seus esforços renderam-lhe o reconhecimento da associação inglesa, que o condecorou com uma medalha de ouro, e o governo brasileiro honrou-o com o hábito da Imperial Ordem da Rosa. Nos veículos de informação brasileiros, nos quais tanto escreveu, vemos o reconhecimento de seus pares, como E. Hutchings, outro entusiasta da lavoura algodoeira em terras paulistas e intermediário entre a associação e o Ministério da Agricultura, Comércio e Obras Públicas:

Hoje, considerado, como um genero de exportação, o algodão, e sua cultura, é um dos factos estabelecidos na historia da provincia, e eu me aproveito desta occasião para patentear a gratidão que todos temos.Quem sabe, o que ha de mostrar-se nos anos que vem? Quasi todas as condições de prosperidade estão unidas nesta provincia; - Um clima sem rival, uma terra cheia de riquesa, e uma natureza, cuja uberdade é espantosa. Tudo isto aqui, e no outro lado do Oceano, a Inglaterra, offerece tudo quanto seja possivel afim de attrahir para lá, os productos da provincia, e com as devidas providencias, e constancia em trabalhar, tudo será possivel, e, sem esta, nada.Campinas, Mogy-mirim, Limeira e outros lugares vão caminhando na cultura do café, e o publico, bem como os particulares, são beneficiados. Parece que, para Sorocaba, resta ainda este outro manancial de prosperidade; - a cultura do algodão, e não ha homem ou natural, ou estrangeiro na provincia, que não abençoará a empresa.[...] Caminho da Luz, S. Paulo Agosto de 1865[...] E. Hutchings108

Evidentemente, tais esforços foram no sentido de produzir algodão adequado às necessidades da indústria inglesa. Foi estimulado o plantio da semente de Nova Orleans, em solicitação de uma circular da Manchester Cotton Supply Association109 e houve uma modificação na postura do produtor brasileiro: “O tipo de algodão tradicional no Brasil era o arbóreo mas o mercado consumidor passou a condicionar a produção ao tipo herbáceo dos 107 AUBERTIN, J.
