South America | Map | 1831 | Giclée Print

The work titled "Carte de L'Amerique Merid.le" is a map created by Philippe Vandermaelen in 1831. It is part of a composite map series, consisting of four parts, and originally measures 112 x 142 cm.
The map depicts the South American continent. It shows important geographical features such as the Andes, the Amazon, and the extensive coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. The political borders reflect the historical context of the 1830s – a period characterized by significant political changes and the emergence of new nations in South America following the independence movements from Spanish and Portuguese rule.
Thus, the map provides insights into the geopolitical landscape of South America during a time of change. The detailed depiction of borders and regions is indicative of the post-colonial restructuring that took place across the continent as the newly independent states formed their national identities.

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.
