Description
Original engraving of Peru and Bolivia, which provides details about the region. The province-wise color coding, town locations, river courses, mountain ranges and province names have been depicted in the engraving. Notably, Bolivia has been shown extending to the Pacific Ocean. The lower-left corner of the engraving features a detailed inset of Lima, which displays the street plan of the city. This particular engraving is from the 1859 edition of Colton's atlas, which is a rare edition as it features the imprint of Johnson & Browning. It is worth noting that this edition was published one year prior to the publishers' creation of their own New Illustrated Family Atlas of the World. The engraving is visually appealing, with fine and attractive colors and a decorative border.
