About this piece

Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and Guayana on a map titled "Brazil", from Black's General Atlas of the World, published by A. & C. Black in 1870. The sheet is an engraved map colored by region, with the title in a ruled cartouche at lower right and the plate number at upper right.

Brazil fills the sheet, with the Amazon and its great tributaries, the Sao Francisco and the Parana drawn across the interior and the long Atlantic coast crowded with ports and headlands from the mouth of the Amazon to the Rio de la Plata. The Guianas appear at the top left in separate colors, with Uruguay and Paraguay at the southern end and the borders with Bolivia and La Plata to the west. Relief is shown in fine hachures, with railways and the main roads of the settled coast lightly marked, and the parallels and meridians run across the sheet.

The map shows the Empire of Brazil as it stood in 1870, with provinces and neighboring states colored in strong tints.
