A very appealing, mid 19th-century engraved map of South America . Tallis maps are renowned for their decorative quality, many of the maps displaying charming vignette scenes around the map itself. This particular map shows charming vignette views of Brazil, Peru, Valparaiso, Chilean natives, Rio de Janeiro, and a Brazilian rope bridge, all set within an ornate border. All of this is set within an elaborate scrollwork border.

In VG+ condition, very attractive and visually pleasing. The map has slight areas of toning which are less conspicuous in person. With original outline hand color.

In all, a very clean, pleasing example of this very desirable map.

Sheet measures c. 10 5/8"W x 14 3/8 "H. Image measures c. 9 3/8"W x 14"H.
