According to the title the information was gathered during his voyages in 1857 - 1859 on the steamship "Bisson" and published by the French "Depot des cartes et plans de la Marine". The map contains the results of Mouchez's expeditions up the Parana and Paraguay River, making observations from 1857 to 1860. Mouchez improved the practice of surveying at sea, adapting terrestrial instruments for naval use, and was especially concerned with the problems of determining longitude. He developed the use of the theodolite and meridian telescope. Title on upper sheet. "No. 1933. No. 1934" on upper and lower right margin of map. Shows political boundaries, major cities, rivers, military posts, etc. Relief shown by hachures. Prime meridian is Paris.

What is Infinity Framing?
Wow Factor
Infinity frame
The image is printed on a durable fabric, which is stretched inside a slim aluminum frame. It’s transportable, interchangeable, and easy to assemble. Our infinity frame pieces for large sized prints will lend a “wow” factor to your space.
Better than Canvas
The colors in our fabric prints are crisp and true to life, with a matte, glare-free finish. With our printing process, the colors permeate the fabric, rather than settling on top, which reduces the risk of scratching or fading. Your art will last a long time!
Easy to Install
Assemble the frame in minutes, insert the fabric print into the grooves, and your art is ready to hang!
