Description |
English: This is J. H. Colton and Juan Ondarza Lara's great 1859 national map of Bolivia. This map is highly significant and influential on multiple levels. First, it is the largest and most important map of Bolivia to appear in the 19th century. Second, it is the second national map produced by an American commercial publisher, J. H. Colton, at the behest of a foreign government. Third, (and unfortunately) Colton was never paid for this map, which forced him into bankruptcy in 1859 and thus into a business arrangement with A. J. Johnson, whose use of Colton's map plates catalyzed his rise to become, for a time, the world's largest map publisher. |
