This edition of the map was printed and published by Chapman & Hall in 1844. Size: Approx 33.5 x 41.0cm, 13.25 x 16 inches. Antique steel engraved map with original outline hand coloring. This fascinating map of the North West part of South America/Amazonia covers Ecuador, New Granada (Colombia), Venezuela, and part of Brazil and the Guianas.

Condition
Good; suitable for framing. However, please note: Tight left margin; Tight right margin. The borders are complete, but the map has been printed close to the right and left hand edges of the sheet; there is very limited margin along both edges. Virtually all antiquarian maps and prints are subject to some normal aging due to use and time which is not obtrusive unless otherwise stated.
