4 large engravings joined in two separate parts. Measure of the complete large map: 1002x1115 mm. Contemporary coloring. Few stains. Good specimen. This is probably the most important two panel wall map of South America produced in the 18th century. Largely based upon the earlier D'Anville map, this map depicts the continent in full with an inset of the Falkland Islands. A very ornate cartouche includes a native American, bird, alligator, monkey, treasures, waterfalls, fauna and a landscape. Very detailed map with many names of place and a table in the bottom regarding the various countries and their trades in the continent.

Estim. 1 500 - 1 800 EUR

Three etchings on Imperial folio. Measure of the complete large map: 1305x780 mm. Margins. Outline contemporary coloring. Some little slight stains. Good copy. Fantastic self-assembly mural map of South America. The three large prints depict the southern, central and northern parts of the continent. D'Anville's maps have a very modern clarity and immediacy, incorporating the best geographic knowledge available in his time. The English and other geographers copied extensively from his maps. In the southern section, pretty cartouche.
