A very handsome and impressive map of north-eastern South America from Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela to the mouth of the Amazon. Like many maps of the time it shows the non-existent 'Lake Parima', between the Orinoco and Amazon rivers. The New General Atlas was one of the most accurate and best produced atlases of the day. Copper engraving. Original outline colour. Fine condition. Size: 60 x 50 cm.
