An attractive map of central South America around the troubled regions of Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile, and Bolivia. Cisplatina had been a Brazilian province from 1821 to 1828 at which point following the Preliminary Peace Convention in 1828 it became independent as Uruguay. Bolivia here still has access to the Pacific Ocean. This region would see the Paraguayan War (1864-70) which would decimate Paraguay and the War of the Pacific (1879-84). The map is the work of Major Carl Christian Franz Radefeld (1788‐1874) who became chief cartographer for Joseph Meyer, the publisher. It is engraved by Jean Adam.
