SOUTH AMERICA BY ALFRED ADLARD, CIRCA 1879.

SOUTH AMERICA

A scarce and  highly decorative map of South America, engraved and published by Alfred Adlard, to accompany "Adlard's Vignette Modern School Atlas Of The World", published London circa 1879. Very similar to the elaborate maps published by John Tallis in the 1850's, the present series is far more uncommon. The maps are generally decorated with vignettes and scenes depicting particular views and  local inhabitants. 

 Measures approx. 250 x 290 mm. Centrefold as issued. Good condition. See photo for condition.

Attractive hand colour.
