    This map is an illustration for the first quatrain of the poem «Em todos os jardins» by the Portuguese poet Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen:

    Em todos os jardins hei-de florir
    em todos beberei a lua cheia
    quando enfim no meu fim eu possuir
    todas as praias onde o mar ondeia

    witch we can translate as follows :

    In all the gardens I will bloom
    in all I will drink the high moon
    when finally at my end I own
    all the beaches where the sea is waving

    Similarly to what I inaugurated in my penultimate map (https://www.cartographersguild.com/s...ad.php?t=47210) the whole toponymy is replaced by the verses of the poem.
    There are no traps, it is usually read from top to bottom, left to right.

    This work is totally hand-drawn and the cartographic style consists of a loyal imitation of the 1/50,000 topographic map of France, type 1922.

    The hills are occupied by vines and forests, while the landscaped plain is a bocage. The main localities are in small valleys, at the foot of the hills. The shores are wild.
