Ricardo, This subject is far from my area of expertise, and I'm traveling, thus no references to consult. That said, I believe Lapie copied some of von Humboldt's geography on his maps of North America, in Nouvelles Annales des Voyages from 1810 to 1816, although the scale of his map makes it difficult to appreciate this fact. You might want to contact the map dealer Frederik Muller, in Bergum Holland, who may have additional information for you on this topic. Of course, Poirson "copied" von Humboldt, but under von Humboldt's direction.

According to Edmundo O’Gorman (Mexican historian), Alexander Von Humboldt sketched the first map of the late eighteenth century territorial administrations (1804). The printed map appeared as Carte Generale Du Royaume De La Nouvelle Espagne (1811). I want to know if there are other maps and charts that copied from Humboldt besides Pike and Arrowsmith. Any reference to an article, book, or map might help me. Thank you in advance. If you want, you can reply me off the list: [email protected] Ricardo -- Ricardo A.
