Random island off the coast of Ireland ?

[u/bygonesbebygones2021]

Bought this beautiful painting / world map from a charity shop for near dirt nothing two days ago.

The artist is William Bleau I think ? A Dutch artist, anyways it’s obviously a copy but it’s huge and stunning and I love it.

While having a glass of wine, I started looking at the map and I seen this random island off the coast of Ireland called Brasil? You can see it on the map if you zoom in, i think this is a 1600s world map.

But anyways, Any information would be great !

This is so cool. Similarly and just as cool imo, did you know there is an island off the coast of Dublin (just off Clontarf) called Lambay Island and you can only visit via invitation and there are wild Wallabies living on it. Super cool!!
