Rare map of South America, based upon D'Anville's 4 sheet map.
Highly detailed and well annotated map of South America, exhibiting significant detail along the coasts and rivers within the continent.
This map is based on the work of D'Anville who was Royal Geographer and Cartographer to the King of France, and produced under the patronage of his brother. D'Anville followed Delisle as the chief proponent of scientific cartography, and his influence on his contemporaries was profound. Because he had direct access to the many official French records of North America his maps are known for their excellent detail and clearly presented information.
The map is quite rare on the market. We were unable to locate any examples in AMPR going back nearly 30 years.
