We are privileged to offer this map of Chili(Chile), La Plata and Uruguay (with an inset map of the South Part of Patagonia), issued as part of S. Augustus Mitchells New Universal Atlas of 1851. Mitchell, one of America's premier mapmakers, published this atlas from 1846-1849. In 1850, Thomas, Cowperthwait and Co. purchased the copyright for this atlas. He enlarged the atlas to include more maps and also added the new features of a chromolithographed title page and contents page. The lithographed maps issued by Cowperthwait and Co. are what we consider the finest maps produced in this era of mapmaking. One of the reasons that these maps by Cowperthwait are exceptionally difficult to find is because of their short period of publication from 1850-1854. The copyrights on some of these maps show Mitchell or Cowperthwait's name. This map measures 12.5 inches by 15.25 inches.

This map of the Chili, La Plata, and Uruguay (with an inset map of the southern part of Patagonia) was published by Thomas, Cowperthwait and Co., in 1854. Country regions, cities, towns, bodies of water, and topographical features are illustrated on this map. Original hand coloring in muted pastels and Cowperthwaits signature sage and pink border make this map a standout from other maps made during this time. ' This map measures 12 inches by 15 inches.
