Splendid pair of maps of South America. James Wyld was successor to William Faden, one of the luminaries of late eighteenth century publishing in England. Wyld maintained the high standard of graphic and factual excellence that had been established by his predecessor and his maps are among the finest published in the early nineteenth century. Copper engraving. Original outline colour. Very good condition. Pair of maps 58 x 88 cm.
