Very good. Light creasing along fold line and other minor, scattered imperfections. Size 16.75 x 20.75 Inches. An informative c. 1827 map of the Americas that appeared in Matthew Carey and Isaac Lea's A Complete Historical, Chronological, And Geographical American Atlas . Among other features, it reflects territorial disputes that emerged in the wake of independence movements throughout the hemisphere. A Closer Look Two hand-colored maps, of North and South America, respectively, appear side-by-side. The new nations of the Americas are denoted, though in some cases with borders quite different from their eventual ones. Prominently, at left, the border of the United States along the Pacific Ocean extends to the 54th parallel, a maximalist claim that contrasted with Great Britain's own claim to territory down to the Columbia River, a dispute only settled with the 1846 Oregon Treaty. U.S. states and territories are numbered corresponding to an index at bottom-left, with large Missouri and 'Arkansa' Territories notable. Erroneous rivers and lakes (Buenaventura and Timpanogos) extending from the Rockies to the Pacific are maintained, reflecting the limited knowledge of the western half of the continent. In South America, the contingent nature of newly independent confederations and states is evident in the still-unified Gran Colombia, the undetermined border between Peru and Brazil, and the large United Provinces (of the Rio de la Plata). This latter state was, like many of its neighbors, based on pre-independence viceroyalties and captaincies. Here it retains the region around the Desert of Atacama, especially important for providing access to the Pacific Ocean from the silver mines at Potosi. Territorial disputes over Atacama and other regions persisted throughout the 19th century in South America and led to several wars between neighboring states. Also noteworthy here is a unified 'Hayti,' demonstrating the annexation of the Spanish portion of the island by the namesake republic in 1822. Text surrounding the maps provides information on the geography, borders, climate, populations, and history (focusing on the Age of Discovery and especially Christopher Columbus) of the countries of the Americas. Longitude is measured from both London and Washington, D.C. Given the distinctive layout of the maps in Carey and Lea's atlas, the platemark from the map plate can be seen clearly in the surrounding text portions. Publication History and Census This map appeared in the 1827 edition of Matthew Carey and Isaac Lea's A Complete Historical, Chronological, And Geographical American Atlas . It was drawn by James Finlayson and engraved by James H. Young and George Delleker. The only known distinct cataloging of the 1827 edition of the map in institutional holdings is with the Newberry Library, while the entire 1827 edition of the Carey and Lea atlas is more widely distributed in institutional collections.
