A nice detailed map of Guyana from Buchon's Atlas Gégraphique Statistique, historique et chronologique des deux Ameriques et des isles adjacentes; traduit de l'atlas exécuté en Amerique d'aprés Lesage, avec des nombreuses corrections et augmentations, Paris 1825. An elegant Parisian publication of the Carey & Lea atlas of the Americas, first published in 1822 in Philadelphia.

Map shows French, Dutch and English Guyana, via colour coding. The map is surrounded by letterpress explanatory text (in French), and for the main only details French Guyana, it includes details of its limits and extent, aspects of the country and its soil, islands, produce, rivers, lakes, mountains, population, and historical notes. Mileage scales. There are some small explanatory notes and references to Portuguese, Spanish, English and Dutch Guyanas.
This is a fine map and is a great example of a superior 19th century engraving technique.
