Description |
English: This is a magnificent 1861 hand colored map of South America. Shows the region in incredible detail with notations of geographical features, political features, and other information such as telegraph cables, roads, and nautical facts. It also traces the routes of the important explorers, Byron, Wallis, Anson, Cook, Bouvet, Perouse, Bougainville, Colnett, Carteret, Halley, and Vancouver. This is a rare version of the Johnson South America map that appeared in the 1860 and 1861 editions of the Johnson Family Atlas. It is differs from later editions with regard to both style and form. In this edition the oceans are colored, there is a small decorative shore profile of Cape Horn, and the area covered extends as far north as Mexico and Florida. This map was issued in the 1861 edition of Johnson’s Family Atlas. The 1861 edition is one of the first and rarest in the Johnson series. |
