Description
Travel back in time and discover the Colombian capital at the end of the 19th century with this exceptional art edition of the Plano de Bogotá. This masterpiece of historical cartography was drawn from the rigorous topographic surveys of the renowned military engineer Agustín Codazzi in 1852, then meticulously updated, completed, and published in Paris in 1900 by the engineer and geographer Manuel María Paz (M. M. Paz). This invaluable archival document offers a unique visual record of the urban development, architecture, and social organization of Santa Fe de Bogotá at the dawn of the 20th century.
The center of the poster features a topographic map of the city colored in soft pastel shades, surrounded by a grid of coordinates and topped by an extremely comprehensive period index listing the official nomenclature of the streets and avenues (calles and carreras), as well as a section of detailed explanations. The true richness of this document lies in its superb black-and-white engravings that frame the plan, illustrating the city's most iconic monuments and vistas. It features realistic views of major thoroughfares such as the Carrera de Florian or the Carrera de San Francisco, a superb perspective of the central square (La Catedral and the Plaza de Bolívar), as well as a massive panorama below showcasing the Capitolio Nacional flanked by the monumental statues of Christopher Columbus (Colón) and the conquistador Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada.
This antique map of Bogota stands out for its rare elegance and Victorian aesthetic, embellished with delicate corner borders, refined calligraphic lettering, and the official coat of arms of Colombia. Authentic and decorative, this edition is a fine piece for enthusiasts of vintage cartography, South American history, or historic urban planning.
Carefully reprinted on high-quality paper, it faithfully reproduces the fine lines of the period engravings and the nostalgic patina of the original document, ideal for enhancing the wall of a living room, a large office, or a library.
Creative paper
For vintage paper posters, we use a natural-toned and textured, slightly grained, 200 gsm FSC®-certified fine art paper. We chose this paper for its durability and to preserve its vintage look: it is an uncoated paper, so the colors will have an "aged" appearance that stays true to the spirit of the original card.
If you would like to get an idea of how the printed result will look, which is always different from what you see on screen, please contact us and we will be happy to help! Rest assured that we will do our utmost to respond to your request as quickly as possible!
