EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print dates back to the early 18th century, specifically from the years 1713 and 1717, depicting the developing urban landscape of Santiago de Chile. During this period, Santiago was still in its formative years as a city, having been officially founded just a few decades prior in 1541. The map, which is a combination of two separate engravings, provides a unique glimpse into the geography and urbanism of Santiago during the colonial era. The mapocho river, a vital water source for the city, winds its way through the center of the map, dividing the urban area from the rural lands beyond. In the background, the imposing Mount Santa Lucia dominates the skyline, its peak reaching towards the heavens. The map also reveals the early layout of the city, with its grid-like streets and clear delineation of the various neighborhoods and districts. Santiago's growth during this time was driven by the expanding Spanish colonial presence in South America, and the map reflects the European influence on the city's urban planning. This map is an essential historical document, offering valuable insights into the geography, urban development, and colonial history of Santiago de Chile during the early modern period. Its intricate details and beautiful engraving techniques make it a stunning addition to any collection of historical maps or South American studies.
