Shipping off a port town and an offshore fort, San Salvador, Brazil

Mounted on page 1 of the Fanshawe West Indies, North American and Borneo scrapbook (ZBA4855). Untitled lithograph showing two views on one sheet. The top one shows a coastal town with shipping: a twin domed church at lower level and possibly a convent higher up indicate a Catholic location. The flags of a small ship on the left suggest it is Spanish. The lower view shows a distinctive circular island fort. This is the largely 17th-century Fort do Mar (or Fort of Nossa Senhora do Populo e do Sao Marcelo) at San Salvador, Bahia, in Brazil, with the upper drawing being probably another view there. The original sketches would have been made by Edward Fanshawe shortly after 1823, the prints probably after 1854.
