Malte-Brun's A System of Universal Geography 1828 Map of The West India Islands WITH MODERN HAND COLOR
Original Engraving 1828 Map of The West India Islands from “A System of Universal Geography” by Conrad Malte-Brun.
Engraved and Published by Samuel Walker in Boston.
Hand Colored by Historian and Professor John Duncan ( 1938-2022 )
THIS MAP IS A MODERN HAND COLOR. THE PAGE IS ORIGINAL TO THE 1800S.
This map is not “new” or in “new condition.” This is an antique map and the quality of that will be reflected in the work. It was printed in 1828 and is in good condition considering its antique age. The full page measures approx. 10.75”L x 8.75”W and shows some signs of aging. The margins are uneven and the map sustains a tear on the right hand margin, extending into the border. There is some light water damage on the bottom right as well, but is in overall fair condition and is ready for framing!
The map pictured is the map that you will receive.
Born in Thisted, Denmark on 12 August 1775, Malthe Conrad Bruun was born and raised to be a pastor, yet instead decided to attend classes at the University of Denmark when he was able. During this time he became a proud activist and noted supporter of the French Revolution, and following the strict censorship laws put in place by Prince Frederick IV, Malthe was indicted for his pamphlets. Brunn then fled the country and went to Sweden. At some point during his time of exile, he began using his birth name as a part of his last name, now going by Malte-Brun. Malte-Brun began publishing maps in Paris, and went on to become one of the founders and first elected secretary of the Société de Géographie de Paris. He is most well known for his coinage of the terms “Oceania” and “Indo-China”. He passed away in Paris on December 14th, 1826.
