ATLAS GEOGRAFICO DEL PERU.

Paz Soldan, Mariano Felipe:

Edité par Paris. 1865.

This magnificent atlas by Peru's most eminent 19th-century historian contains numerous maps, city plans, views, groups, scenery, etc. The author obviously drew inspiration from both Alexander von Humboldt's grand works on America, as well as contemporary daguerreotypes, from which many of the plates were made. Mariano Felipe Paz Soldan (1821-1886) was a Peruvian historian and geographer. He was born at Arequipa, Peru, and one of the stunning plates in the ATLAS is a large folding view of that city. Phillips calls for seventy-two plates, while Palau calls for seventy-four; copies on OCLC are listed with seventy-two, seventy-three, and seventy-four plates.
