antique map authentic
engraving intaglio from 1812 representing an antique map entitled: "New Granada Caracas and Guyanas". Formerly published in an atlas by malte-brun and drawn up by Lapie. Borders and geographical limits enhanced with colors. This is a Map of the northern part of South America, including areas that correspond to today's Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and the Guianas. The engraving is broken down into a single Map with a decorative cartouche depicting a natural scene with waterfalls and tropical vegetation, showcasing the natural richness of the mapped region. In 1812, this region of South America was marked by struggles for independence against Spanish colonial domination. New Granada corresponded to the current territory of Colombia and Panama, Caracas referred to what is now Venezuela, while the Guianas were divided between different European colonial powers. The boundaries drawn reflect the complex and changing political context of the time.
