Decorative Original HandColoredAntique Map of South America by J.B. Elwe, 1792
About the Item
This image depicts 'L'Amerique Meridionale', an antique map of South America. The map is carefully hand-colored, showcasing the diverse countries within the continent, including Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay, Paraguay, Colombia, Venezuela, Guiana, Guyana, and Surinam. The craftsmanship suggests it was created in a time when maps were not just tools for navigation but also works of art. It appears to be an authentic piece from 1792, originating from an atlas published by J.B. Elwe. The artistry in the coloration and the detail in the geographical features capture the essence of cartography from the late 18th century.
