About the Item
1857 Map of Northern South America – Brazil, Colombia, Peru by Stülpnagel
Antique map titled “Süd-America in zwei Blättern” (South America in Two Sheets), newly edited by V. v. Stülpnagel and published by Justus Perthes in Gotha, 1857. This is the **northern sheet** of a large two-part map of South America, featuring Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, and portions of Bolivia and the Guianas.
Drawn with exceptional precision, the map highlights major rivers, including the Amazon, Orinoco, and Magdalena, alongside mountain ranges such as the Andes. Cities and towns like Bogotá, Caracas, Lima, Rio de Janeiro, and Quito are marked, along with borders of regional divisions as they stood in the mid-19th century. Coastal detail along the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean is finely rendered, with ports, bays, and coastal features all labeled.
This map provides a valuable snapshot of South American geography shortly after the independence movements that shaped modern nations. It is particularly rich in hydrographic information, making it ideal for collectors interested in river systems and early colonial exploration routes.
The elegant typography and decorative title cartouche enhance its visual appeal, and its hand-coloring of territorial boundaries adds clarity and historical charm.
