About This Item
London: Cadell & Davies, 1817. unbound. very good(+). NEELE, Samuel. Map. Engraving with hand coloring. Image measures 27 5/8" x 20".<br/> <br/> Beautiful large map of South America encompassing the southern tip of Peru, the northern half of Chile, parts of Bolivia and Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and much of Argentina including Buenos Aires. Extensive geographical, historical and ethnographic details. Very small chip to top right corner, otherwise in excellent condition. John Pinkerton (1758-1826) was a prominent English mapmaker known for his large and impeccably detailed maps. In this manner, his work marks a turning point from the earlier emphasis on decoration toward a greater emphasis on information. His "Modern Atlas" is one of the best British atlases of the period and is a fine example of his work.<br/> <br/>
