About this piece

Brazil, an original map from an atlas of 1882 published by Blackie & Son, with the single-word title "Brazil" in the lower right. The map is colored by province, in pink, yellow, green and buff.

The sheet shows the whole of the country as it was organized under the empire, with its provinces outlined in color, the long Atlantic coast thickly lettered with ports and capes, and the great river systems of the Amazon, the São Francisco and the Paraná traced across the interior. An inset at the lower left gives a larger-scale view of the southern provinces around Rio Grande do Sul, and the borders of Ecuador, the Guianas and the other neighbors appear at the edges of the sheet.

The map shows Brazil in the 1880s, before the end of the monarchy in 1889, when it was divided into provinces and not states.
