Item Details
Description
Engraved hand-colored map of North America by cartographer Tomas Lopez, 9 x 7.5 in. (sight), issued in 1792. Beautifully double-matted and set into an ornate dark wood frame. Fine. Tomas Lopez de Vargas Machuca (1730-1802) was one of Spain’s most prominent cartographers in the eighteenth century. In 1752 the Spanish government sent Lopez for training in Paris with the renowned geographer Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d’Anville. When he returned to Spain he was named Geógrafo de los dominios de Su Magestad and put in charge of the geographic collections of Charles III. He published many maps, including his excellent maps of the Americas, and a variety of geography manuals.
