This wonderful old map of Minas Gerais was originally published in 1908. It was created by an anonymous mapmaker.
The state of Minas Gerais is located in the east of Brazil and is known for its wealth of minerals (such as topaz and amethyst) and its mining activities. Designed for the Brazilian National Exposition of 1908, which marked one hundred years since the Brazilian ports opened, this map shows off the land of Minas Gerais.
In this beautiful map, you will see the different soil types, lands, terrains, rocks and soil types found in the state.
This map looks great at all sizes: 10x10 inches (25x25cm), 12x12in (31x31cm), 14x14 inches (36x36cm), 16x16in (41x41cm), 18x18in (46x46cm), 24x24 inches (61x61cm), 36x36 inches (92x92cm), 45x45 inches (114.5x114.5cm), 50x50 inches (127x127cm) and 60x60 inches (152.5x152.5cm), but it looks even better when printed large.
I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 60in (152cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.
The model in the listing images is holding the 18x18in (46x46cm) version of this map.
The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.
Please note the unframed 24x24 inches (61x61cm) map has white edges around the map. These edges can help you with framing, or if you don’t need them they are very easy to snip off with scissors. All other maps, including the framed maps, look exactly like the listing images.
If you’re looking for something slightly different, another option would be this amazing map of Brazil and Brazilian Geology & Agrology by Silk & Cavalcanti in 1908.
The locations on this map include: Belo Horizonte, Uberlandia, Uberaba, Juiz de Fora, Montes Claros, Curvelo, Salinas and Sao Domingos do Prata.
Please contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.
This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving or housewarming gift for someone interested in Minas Gerais or someone who has a keen interest in agrology in Brazil.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
