1846 Bradford Map of South America

Description: 1846 Bradford Map of South America WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS - NOT REPRODUCTIONS Title: South America. Description: This is an 1846 Thomas G. Bradford map of South America. The map depicts the continent from Panama to Tierra del Fuego and from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. Created during an era of political instability, violence, and civil war throughout the continent, it would be decades before territorial boundaries in South America were no longer in flux. The Argentine Civil Wars were raging at the time this map was published, and Peru and Ecuador were fighting over their border, a conflict that would not be fully resolved until 1998. True to the overall aesthetic of the Universal Illustrated Atlas, a high level of detail is illustrated here. Cities and towns throughout the continent are labeled, including Quito, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Rio de Janeiro, Caracas, Bogota, Montevideo, and Cusco. Rivers, such as the Amazon, Orinoco, and Paraguay, traverse the continent in every direction, and the Andes are depicted as well.. This map was engraved by George Boynton and published in the 1846 edition of Bradford and Goodrich's A Universal Illustrated Atlas. Size: Printed area measures 15.5 inches high by 12 inches wide.

DHL or FedEx will contact the buyer by telephone to arrange tax payment if it is levied. Duty varies by country and we cannot predict the amount you will be charged. Some countries are duty free, others are not. Typically, a customs duty and/or VAT tax will be assessed on all parcels to continental Europe. Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped. Maps shipped to the UK should be duty free as educational materials, but from time to time duty of 5% is assessed incorrectly by the UK customs agents.
