Antique Map of South America – Physical Relief Map by Hachette, c.1883
Description:
This antique map titled “Amérique du Sud” was published circa 1883 by Hachette in Paris as part of their educational “Atlas en relief.” It depicts the physical geography of South America, rendered with hypsometric colouring to indicate elevation ranges, from lowland plains to the high Andes.
The map shows the Andes Mountains running along the western coast with brown shading indicating their altitude. The Amazon basin, La Plata basin, Brazilian highlands, and Patagonian plateau are also clearly delineated. Major rivers such as the Amazon, Orinoco, and Paraná are prominently drawn, along with key cities and coastal features labelled in French. The inset at upper right compares the size of France to the continent, illustrating scale to French students.
This map was created to provide a clear overview of continental relief for academic use in schools and universities. It demonstrates the cartographic style of the late 19th century, with precise engraving and pastel colour application, produced by E. Hachette, Editeur, Rue Serpente, Paris.
Condition:
Good condition with original pastel colouring intact. Minor age-related toning in the wide margins and a few small foxing spots typical for maps of this period.
Framing tip:
This educational relief map of South America will display beautifully when float-mounted in a natural oak, black, or gold frame to highlight its subtle colours. Ideal for libraries, antique map collections, or classrooms focused on the geography and exploration history of South America.
