1928List1922Bahia 1928. Folded map. Fine condition. Fine. Teodoro Sampaio was an Afro-Brazilian cartographer engineer politician and historian who was very active in Brazil particularly in Bahia during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Offered here is Sampaio’s map of Bahia from 1928 which updates a map he produced in 1899 of the same region with updates of the settlement of the region including a detailed inset of the city of BBahio de Todos os Santos on the lower right corner. At the time of the map’s production Sampaio was an authority on Brazilian geography being a member of the Instituto Geográfico e Histórico da Bahia serving as president in 1922 and a member of the Instituto Histórico e Geográfico Brasileiro and the Instituto Geográfico e Histórico da Bahia and publishing several books on Brazilian geography. The period between 1899 when the first edition of this map was published and 1928 saw the development of rubber plantations in Bahia and the map provides detail on the region’s roads and population centers. We find no publicly held examples of this edition and one copy of the 1899 edition at Princeton though we do find a reference to this edition at the Brazilian National Archives. unknown
