Attractive and detailed hand coloured map of Brazil by John Cary. John Cary (1755-1835) was a renowned and active map engraver and publisher, working between 1787 and 1834 in London. Cary's maps are of a very high technical standard, being finely engraved, but are also designed to be functional. The maps strive for accuracy rather than decoration, which emphasises the detail, the accomplished engraving and the clarity of presentation.
