Summary

[edit]
Description
English: "In 1882 the Argentine Geographic Institut decided to issue a general map and a atlas of the Argentine Republic. The task was put in the hands of the well known Profesor of the University of Cordoba, Arturo Seelstrang, who had already brought out a map of the Republic in 1875.

The Atlas was 'constructed and published' by the institute 'under the auspices of the National Government'. Plate XXVII of the Atlas, reproduced here, was headed 'Governoship of Tierra del Fuego and the Malvinas Islands' and were drawn up in 1885 and published the following year.

As may be observed, said map shows the boundary line running through the centre of the Beagle Channel, indicating Picton, Nueva and Lennox Islands an all the other islands and islets extending southwards as far as Cape Horn as being under Chilean sovereignty."
