Folio (21 x 14 inches). 30 double-page chromolithograph regional maps of Mexico, each within broad silver border and fully colored, each map with integral finger tab titled in contemporary manuscript (title-page excised, quite browned). Contemporary half brown sheep, black cloth, gilt (very worn). Provenance: Contemporary ink stamp of G. Águila on verso of each map; with Dorothy Sloan, December 11th, 2009, lot 16 Exceptionally rare, in any condition, first published in 1886 by Debray under the same title, but with the addition of the silver borders which obscure the original 1886 title and imprint that are part of the original plate. Only two copies recorded on OCLC: UT Austin (Benson) and Getty. Each regional map is very detailed, with a key to towns, haciendas, ranchos, mines, anchorages, roads, and railroads, waterways, lakes, soundings, and mountain ranges. The map of the Federal District is decorated with eight vignettes showing floor plans of several buildings, Mexico City in pre-Hispanic times, a modern street plan, and Mexican antiquities. Several of the maps also have insets, such as the one of Guerrero, which has an inset of the "Puerto de Acapulco," and Sinaloa, with an inset of "Mazatlán." Recent realignments of state borders are labelled and shown in red (e.g. Nuevo León). "This atlas is emblematic of the progress and development in Mexico during Porfirio Díaz's tenure as President. One such feature, for example, is the depiction of railroads, either existing or under consideration. As the map of Oaxaca shows, the elusive cross-Tehuantepec road is still "en estudio"; by contrast, Puebla is well served at this time by railways both public and private. The fine details of each map and the excellent workmanship reflect not only progress in defining and developing Mexico's geography but also embody the height of late nineteenth-century Mexican lithographic art" (Dorothy Sloan).

The general map of the republic of Mexico showing the boundaries created by the treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo of 1848 and the Gadsden Purchase of 1853. This is the first official map of Mexico, printed in Mexico and prepared from Mexican sources. 27 maps of states and territories surrounded by letterpress: Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosi, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, Durango, Sinaloa, Jalisco, Guanajuato, Mexico, Michoacan, Queretaro, Puebla, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Chiapas, Tabasco, Yucatan, Baja California, Colima, Tlaxcala, Tehuantepec, Territorios de Sierragorda, and Isla del Carmen. A few of the maps in this copy are misnumbered or bound out of order with respect to the Table of Contents. "[T]he SMGE's new national map, hastily finished in the aftermath of the War and during the initial phases of the boundary demarcation, appeared in 1850It included a visual elaboration of the territory lost in the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, as well as a demarcation of the new international limits between Mexico and the United States[According to Garcia Cubas in his 'El Libro de mis recuerdos' (p.452)], the image brought an expression of bitterness from General Santa Anna, who for the first time could actually envision the magnitude of the territory Mexico had lost. The map never saw publication because of the government's precarious financial condition after the war. Members of the Comision and [SMGE] sought publishers in the United States and England, but found the prices for publication no more accommodating than Mexico "The need for a published and circulated, Mexican-produced, national map became even more pronounced when in 1854, Mexico lost another portion of its territorial claim as a result of errors in the Disturnell map. . . . Regardless of the role General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna and others played in the politics of the [Gadsden] Purchase, Mexican officials and intellectuals were convinced: Mexico needed an accurate and internationally accepted map of its own, published and circulated. "After the war, a new Carta General, constructed by Garcia Cubas, would proffer an iconographic image of the state's new parameters and fill that territory with the ghosts of the past, in the process creating an image of a single national spirit" (Craib, "Cartographic Mexico," pp. 25-27).".
