About this piece

Venezuela, New Granada, Ecuador and Peru on a map titled "Venezuela, New Granada, Ecuador, Peru &c.", 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 left and the plate number at upper right.

The map covers the north and west of South America, from the Caribbean coast of Venezuela and the Orinoco to the Pacific coast of Peru. New Granada (modern Colombia) is tinted pink, Ecuador green, Peru pink and Venezuela green, with Brazil and Bolivia at the right and foot of the sheet and the lands of the upper Amazon, lettered Solimoes, in yellow at the center. Relief is shown in hachures along the Andes, which split into several ranges in New Granada, and rivers, ports and the principal towns are lettered throughout.

The use of New Granada for Colombia dates the sheet to the generation before the country's later change of name.
