About this piece

South America, an original map from Lowry's Table Atlas, constructed and engraved from the most recent authorities, by J.W. Lowry, dated 1852. The sheet is printed in black with the coastlines and national borders outlined in orange, and carries the Chapman and Hall, London, imprint at the foot.

The continent is drawn from the Caribbean coast down to Tierra del Fuego and the Falkland Islands, with the title "South America" and two scales lettered at the lower right: English miles and Spanish leagues. Brazil takes up the whole eastern bulge, with the great river systems of the Amazon, the Orinoco and the Rio de la Plata traced in detail, and the Andes run down the Pacific side through Peru, Bolivia and Chile. Towns and ports are named along the coasts, and the oceans are lettered across the open water. Island groups such as the Galapagos and Juan Fernandez are marked in the Pacific.

The atlas page number and a letter signature are printed in the upper corners of the sheet.
