Very good. Light soiling. Toning along edge. Size 10 x 12 Inches. A beautiful example of Jeremiah Greenleaf's 1849 map of Brazil, Guyana, and Paraguay, that appeared in his Universal Atlas . A Closer Look Brazil is displayed as divided into provinces, which are color-shaded for easy distinction. Cities and towns, mountains, lakes, and rivers, including the Amazon and its tributaries, are noted throughout. Along the coast, bays, capes, points, and islands are also marked. French, Dutch, and British Guiana along with Paraguay are similarly depicted, as are neighboring portions of Bolivia and the United Provinces of the Rio de la Plata. Independence and Struggle in Brazil After several attempted revolts, Brazil succeeded in gaining its independence from Portugal in 1822, a movement that, perhaps unexpectedly, was led by the son of the Portuguese King João VI. However, the country's early years saw a string of revolts and wars, as various social groups and newly-independent neighboring countries jockeyed for power. In this era, much of Brazil remained sparsely populated despite continued immigration and a significant portion of the economy relied on slavery and plantation agriculture, though modern industries were developed in the second half of the 19th century. Publication History and Census This map is a much-revised Greenleaf issue of the David Hugh Burr / 'Illman and Pilbrow' map of 1834 (also sold by us). The Burr map plates fell into the hands of Jeremiah Greenleaf, who revised them for publication in his own Universal Atlas . The present example is from the 1849 edition of the atlas, the last and final, which was extensively revised over the 1840s. We note an example in the David Rumsey Map Collection from the 1840 edition of the atlas, which has been populated digitally throughout OCLC, making a comprehensive survey of existing physical examples nearly impossible. Nonetheless, the 1849 edition of the atlas is rare. References: Rumsey 4850.062.…
