Description

This is a map of CENTRAL AMERICA drawn and engraved by John Rapkin for "The Illustrated Atlas and Modern History of the World" published by Tallis & Co in 1851.

It is an attractive and decorative mid 19th century map covering Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Belize and San Salvador, and illustrated with vignette engravings of the Volcano of Isalco, Great Square of Antigua, Guatemala and Belize.

The map has original outline hand colouring which has been augmented with later hand-colouring. The later colouring of the vignettes and border, which was undertaken by a specialist, has enhanced the decorative appeal of this attractive map. It is printed on heavy grade paper, blank verso and unfolded.

There is a small smudge bottom central, otherwise it is in excellent condition and from the preferred edition without the central fold. This map was removed from an Atlas the covers were in poor condition and a few of the maps were already missing.

Mounted in a cream mount, protected in cellophane, the map is ready for framing or for giving as a gift.
