A lovely and quite rare English text example of the Hondius early map of the north-east coast of South America. Copper engraved, the map measures approx 48.5x37.5cm on a sheet of heavy chain-lined paper approx 57x43.5cm; vertical centrefold as issued.  prxs map published in Walker's Geography &c. 1799 watermark. The sheet measures approx 25x20.5cm with two vertical folds as issued. English version with English text on the verso. Old hand colouring.The 'Parime Lacus' in the middle of the land area was believed by some at the time to be the location of 'El Dorado'.

Good condition; a dark and clear impression though with variation in the density of the ink visible along the great rivers; lower text in title cartouche with slight fading but very minor. Some light browning along the centrefold; a couple of light brown blotchy spots, again unobtrusive. Verso again a very clear impression; two remnants of mounting material in top border and a sliver of clear tape on the bottom edge.

Overall a lovely example. Please take a look at the series of images.

I'll post it rolled in a wide diamer posting tube. Special delivery in the UK, Tracked & Signed outside the UK.

Many thanks for your interest. Please let me know if you’ve got any questions.
