Description: 1836 S.D.U.K. Map of Brazil and Guyana WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS - NOT REPRODUCTIONS Title: South America Sheet II Guayana and North Brazil. Description: This is a fine example of the 1837 Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge or S.D.U.K. map of Guyana and northern Brazil. It covers from British Guyana south to Bahia. Dutch and French Guyana are also included. Throughout, the map identifies various cities, towns, rivers, mountain passes and an assortment of additional topographical details with elevation rendered by hachure. This map was issued shortly after the Brazilian war of Independence that freed the massive South America nation from colonial Portuguese control in 1822. In 1831, Pedro I, the founder and first ruler of the new Empire of Brazil abdicated in favor of his five year old son and left for Europe. Under the weak regency elected to rule the country until Pedro II came of age as Emperor, Brazil descended into in civil war. In 1840, Pedro II was declared fit to rule and, proving a strong monarch, managed to bring stability and peace to Brazil. This map was originally published by Baldwin and Cradock and copyrighted in 1836, but was issued in Volume two of Chapman and Hall's 1844 edition of Maps of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. It was engraved by John Walker of J. and C. Walker. Size: Printed area measures 13 inches high by 16 inches wide. Condition: Very good.

Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped. Maps shipped to the UK should be duty free as educational materials, but from time to time duty of 5% is assessed incorrectly by the UK customs agents.
