Very good. Minor foxing and overall toning. Minor edge wear. Size 13 x 15.5 Inches. This is a beautiful 1849 map of Peru and Bolivia by S. A. Mitchell. Centered on Lake Titicaca, on the Peru-Bolivia border, this map covers the whole of both countries following the South American Wars of Independence. Bolivia at this controlled the Pacific coastline from Atacama to Moro de Aldan, this territory was later ceded to Chile. Political and topographical features are noted and color coded with elevation rendered by hachure. The whole is engraved and colored in Mitchell's distinctive style with green border work and vivid pastels. Mitchell published this chart in his atlas from 1846 to the late 1850s before discontinuing the series and selling his map plates to DeSilver. This map was issued in the 1849 edition of the New Universal Atlas . It was the last edition of that atlas to be published by Mitchell prior to selling the plates and rights to the atlas to Thomas Cowperthwait in 1850. References: Rumsey 0545.046.
