In Rio he parted ways with the expedition and travelled on by himself. His depictions of the sceneries, towns and population of Brazil have a "genuine documentary value, which are of utmost importance for the study of Brazilian life at the beginning of the 19th century" (Borba de Moraes).

= Salman, Populair drukwerk in de Gouden Eeuw p.289: "Voor Brabant zijn aanwijzingen van almanakproductie gevonden in de steden Breda en 's-Hertogenbosch. Uit de eerste stad kennen we slechts de Bredaesche almanach en chronijck uit 1664, vrijwel zeker uitgegeven door Johannes Evermans in Breda. Het is zeker geen doorsnee almanak, maar een zeer kostbaar drukwerk in quarto, geïllustreerd met kopergravures. Het ging hier om een eenmalige uitgave die was opgedragen aan Willem III, prins van Oranje en heer van Breda. De schrijver ervan, Jan van Vliet (Janus Vlitius, 1622-1666), verschool zich achter de naam Fobbe Korst." And in the note: "Er zijn tien exemplaren van deze almanak voor 1664 bewaard gebleven." The Chronijck is followed by a list of about 60 Frisian proverbs, annouced by the bearded vendor on the first title. Nice copy of this rare almanac. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXI.
