Historic Map : Perthes map of South America , 1862, Vintage Wall Art Europe Scandinavia and Denmark Norway Iceland Sweden Finland Novissima Islandiae Tabula. 5246922 Rose de Boussole (Compass Rose)This fascinating 1862 map by Justus Perthes and Stieler depicts the continent of South America. Unlike other cartographic publishers of the period, the Justus Perthes firm, did not transition to lithographic printing techniques until the early 1870s. Instead, all of his maps are copper plate engravings and hence offer a level of character and depth of detail that was impossible to find in lithography or wax process engraving. All text in German.
