Codazzi, Agustin, 1793-1859
Note
Four dissected sheets of a circa 1920 reproduction of Codazzi's map of 1840, printed in London in facsimile by Sifton Praed. The original map was issued simultaneously with Codazzi's Atlas Fisico y Politico de la Republica de Venezuela (1840) (see our 5226.000) and uses the same title block and map pages from the atlas, but here joined to form a very large map, also extended in a few places. Both the original map and this reproduction are very rare with one copy of the original known in OCLC. The atlas version is the first national atlas of a South American country listed in Phillips. It is also an early example of the use of lithography in atlases, predating the first North American lithographed atlas (Mitchell) by six years.
