Antique 1882 Map of Peru and Bolivia: Andes Mountains, Amazon Rivers, Historic Borders
This map from 1882 provides a detailed representation of the countries of Peru and Bolivia in South America. It captures the geographical and political features of the region during the late 19th century.
The map highlights the Andes mountain range as a dominant feature, running through both countries. Peru’s western coastline along the Pacific Ocean is depicted with intricate detail, showcasing major cities such as Lima and Arequipa, as well as key rivers like the Amazon's headwaters. Bolivia's highlands and its access to the Andes are prominently displayed, reflecting the country’s diverse terrain. The map also includes significant political boundaries of the time, differentiating regions with color outlines.
Rivers, mountain ranges, towns, and other natural and man-made features are labeled clearly, offering a comprehensive view of the two nations. This map serves as a historical snapshot of the area before major territorial changes and infrastructure developments occurred in later years.
Condition Report: The map is in good condition, with a slight yellowing of the paper that is typical of its age. The edges have minimal wear, and there are faint fold marks from its original inclusion in an atlas. The printed details remain sharp and legible, and the coloring used to denote political boundaries and regions is vibrant and well-preserved.
Tips on How to Frame This Map:
1. Choose a wooden frame with a natural or dark finish, such as walnut or mahogany, to complement the historical aesthetic of the map.
2. Use acid-free matting and backing to protect the map from further aging or discoloration.
3. Consider using UV-protective glass to prevent fading from light exposure.
4. Float-mounting can showcase the map's edges, while a wide mat border offers a clean and professional presentation.
5. Position the map in a location with soft, indirect lighting to avoid glare and preserve its condition.
Recommended Matting Color:
Neutral tones like cream, light beige, or soft gray work well to enhance the map's natural aged tones. A subtle light green mat can evoke the Andean highlands and add a touch of regional context. Avoid bright or bold colors that might distract from the historical charm of the map.
