America | Historical Map | 1827 | Giclée Print

Reproduction of a map of America by Aaron Arrowsmith (* 1750, † 1823) from 1827, with the gigantic dimensions of 155 cm width and 193 cm height. Medium: Wall map, engraved and hand-colored, published by Aaron Arrowsmith, London

This large-format wall map provides a comprehensive overview of America, from the Arctic in the north to Tierra del Fuego in the south, with a detailed map of the southern tip of South America. The map is characterized by its precision and clarity, with geographical accuracy taking precedence over decorative embellishments – a hallmark of British cartography of the early 19th century. The map covers North and South America with detailed coastlines, important rivers, mountain systems, and emerging political boundaries. It depicts the continent at a moment of upheaval – after the great independence movements in Latin America, but before the borders of the new nations were finally established or generally recognized in European cartography.

Historical maps show traces of time and use, the intensity and nature of which vary depending on the map and its purpose. The print offered is a reproduction.
