A dramatic separately-published French 1826 double-hemisphere map of the world by L. M. Berthe and A. R. Fremin. The map includes a bizzare and ephemeral treatment of the Pacific Northwest integrating the fictional discoveries of Maldonado (Kiteguen and Kioumi) and de Fonte (Valasco). It is further striking for its comparative Mountains chart at bottom center. (more details)

This is a scarce, folding map of Paraguay, Uruguay, and their neighboring regions, printed by Berthe to accompany J. R. Rengger's 1827 history of Paraguay and its first dictator. This region at the heart of South America was, in the 19th century, one of the least-known and most remote parts of the inhabited world. The map is derived from the 1809 work of Spanish border commissioner and military engineer Félix de Azara - Rengger was no cartographer, and Azara's work remained the best available. The map has been updated to reflect Rengger's reports, however, and as such it is the best cartographic depiction of Paraguay and its vicinity during the government of José Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia (lasting from 1811 until his 1840 death).
