Description
A striking and expansive two section 1814 case map of South America issued by Pierre Lapie.

The map features striking overall engraving, but the allegorical cartouche is of special note, being the work of legendary engraver Jean-Michel Moreau. The map was initially engraved during the 1807 French invasion of Spain, but not published until nearly 7 years later, in 1814, following War of the Sixth Coalition (March 1813 - May 1814) and Napoleon s exile to Elba.
