"A new draught of the coast of Guinea and Brasile" by Samuel Thornton. It was published in 1702 and is part of the atlas "The Sea-Atlas: Containing an Hydrographical Description of Most of the Sea-Coasts of the Known Parts of the World". The map shows the coastlines of West Africa and Brazil, as well as some of the islands in the region. It is a valuable historical document that provides information about the maritime trade and exploration of these areas in the early 18th century. 

The map is signed by Samuel Thornton in the lower right corner. Thornton was an English cartographer who worked in London in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. He is known for his work on nautical charts and atlases.

The map is based on a variety of sources, including earlier maps, surveys, and astronomical observations. It is a relatively accurate depiction of the coastlines of West Africa and Brazil at the time it was published. However, it does contain some errors, such as the placement of some islands.

The map is still valuable for its historical information. It provides a glimpse into the maritime trade and exploration of these areas in the early 18th century. It is also a beautiful example of early cartography.

During the 18th century, mapping and cartography were crucial for navigation, trade, and exploration, and cartographers like Samuel Thornton played a vital role in producing accurate and detailed maps of various regions. These maps were often used by sailors, explorers, and merchants to navigate the oceans and conduct trade.
