About this piece

Peru and Bolivia on a map from The Imperial Atlas of Modern Geography, published by W. G. Blackie in 1859. The sheet is an engraved map with original hand color, with Peru outlined in blue and Bolivia in orange, and the title "Peru and Bolivia" lettered at lower left above two scale bars.

The map follows the Pacific coast northwest to southeast, with the narrow coastal strip and the Andes shown in dense hachures, and Lake Titicaca on the border between the two countries, near the sheet's center. Towns, ports, rivers and mountain chains are carefully lettered along the coast and the highlands. The interior to the east is much sparser, with the headwaters of the Amazon's tributaries and parts of Ecuador and Brazil only sketched at the edge.

The sheet shows both republics as they were drawn in 1859, a generation before the War of the Pacific of 1879 to 1884 redrew the borders of the region.
