Lima | City Map | Vintage Map | Giclée Print

This is a reproduction of the detailed map "Plano de Lima", created by P. V. Jouanny in 1872. The map was published in Lima and lithographically printed by C. Adler in Hamburg. It was a single map at a scale of 1:12,000, offering a comprehensive overview of Lima in Peru.
The map is a lithograph, a common printing method in the 19th century that allowed for detailed and colorful representations. The map is richly colored. Various parts of the city are highlighted in different hues such as green, blue, yellow, and red to designate different districts or areas.
It is designed in the detailed and illustrative style typical of 19th-century cartography, characterized by precise lines and clear labeling. It combines geographical and informative elements, integrating lists and text alongside the visual representation of the city.
The map shows the layout of Lima, highlighting streets, important buildings, and districts. It includes 143 significant buildings, main thoroughfares, and squares. The map is flanked by two lists: one on the left with the old names of the city blocks ("Nombres Antiguos de las Cuadras") and another on the right with the new names of the streets ("Nombres Nuevos de las Calles"), indicating a period of change or modernization of the urban infrastructure.

Historical maps show the traces of time and their use, with these traces varying in intensity and manner depending on the map and its use. The offered print is a reproduction.
