Description: Original antique color lithographed 1896 map of South America and British Guiana, printed more than 125 years ago. The map of South America is color shaded to depict topography, and the image area measures 20.3 x 16 cm [8" x 6½"]. The coverage area extends from the Caribbean Sea to Tierra del Fuego, including the Falkland Islands, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Patagonia, Colombia, Argentine Republic, the Guianas, Venezuela, and the Amazon River. A delicate blue wash illuminates the shorelines and the distance scale is measured in English miles. The map was engraved by John Bartholomew & Company, Edinburgh, and published by George Routledge & Sons, Limited, 278 West Twenty-Third Street, New York, in 1896. Condition: It is in excellent condition, bright and clean, with a horizontal center fold, as issued, and no marks, rips, or tears. Please see the scans and feel free to ask any questions. This is an original, authentic antique map, not a reproduction or modern reprint, and it is fully guaranteed to be genuine. It would make a handsome display in your den or office. It would also make a perfect gift, and we'll include our helpful framing tips for your reference, along with a photocopy of the dated title page from the book in which it was published. On the reverse side there's a detailed map of British Guiana locating the original and modified boundary between British Guiana and Venezuela defined by the Schomburgk Line, named after Sir Robert Hermann Schomburgk, a German-born explorer for Great Britain. The image area measures 16 x 9.1 cm [6½" x 3¾"], and named places and features include the British post at Yuruan, Mount Ayangcanna, the Essequibo River, Cartabo, Land of Promise, Richmond Estate, and Georgetown.
