Abstract
Abstract Peruvian cartography in the nineteenth century was very rich and fulfilled the geographic knowledge demanded by the new Republic of Peru. In effect, the country of more than 1,000,000 km2 needed to show the physical environment and to locate the distribution of its natural resources. It was the time when cartography was valued as an element of empowerment and land control, especially when the political borders were rather unstable (G. Prieto 2018). Then, it was timely the publication of Atlas Geográfico del Perú (Geographic Atlas of Peru) by Mariano Felipe Paz Soldán, a prominent Peruvian lawyer and geographer. Author’s purpose is to comment on the new edition of the Mariano Felipe Paz Soldán Atlas Geográfico del Perú, published in Lima in 2012.
19世纪秘鲁的地图学非常丰富,满足了新秘鲁共和国对地理知识的需求。实际上,这个面积超过100万平方公里的国家需要显示其自然环境并确定其自然资源的分布。在那个时代,制图被视为赋权和土地控制的一个要素,尤其是在政治边界相当不稳定的情况下(G. Prieto 2018)。当时,秘鲁著名律师和地理学家马里亚诺·费利佩·帕斯Soldán出版了《秘鲁地理地图集Geográfico del Perú》。作者的目的是对2012年在利马出版的新版Mariano Felipe Paz Soldán Atlas Geográfico del Perú发表评论。
