Very good. Matted. An attractive group of lithographic vignettes of scenes in and around Buenos Aires.

1878NL-02415<p><strong>Argentinian propaganda map of Chile's advance into Patagonia.</strong></p><p>This is an anonymous and undated propaganda map prepared by Argentina's Foreign Ministry for dissemination among potential allies on the American continents. It regards the conflict known as the "East Patagonia Tierra del Fuego and Strait of Magellan dispute" or "Patagonia Question" which was a territorial dispute between Chile and Argentina during most of the 19th century for more context see section below.</p><p>The sheet centers on five maps which are distinguished only by the varying size of the swathe of red that is meant to outline Chile's encroachment into Argentine Patagonia. The expansion process began in 1843 with only a few small islands and tiny peninsulas in the western part of the Strait of Magellan but by 1847 Chile was claiming the entire Strait as its own. The expansion continues in three subsequent phases each documented with its own map until 1876 when the territory in dispute consists of virtually all of Patagonia or the southern half of Argentina. Each of the intermediary stages in the quintet of displayed maps is dated and the territories in question are highlighted in red. Under each phase are noted the years in question as well as a brief explanation of the particulars of each phase of the expansionall of it from an Argentine perspective of course.</p><p>The Argentinian Foreign Ministry designed the map as a means of visualizing what Argentina considered the ongoing encroachment by Chile on Argentine territory. The broadsheet highlighted the blatant nature of Chilean territorial claims.</p><p>Because of this background and purpose the sheet was only distributed in limited circles making it a rarity today. The only institutional example of this map in the United States was presented to the US Minister to Argentina Thomas Ogden Osborn by the Argentine Minister of Foreign Affairs to serve precisely the purpose for which it was designed. The United States did indeed get involved and played a key role in the ensuing treaty negotiations 1879-1881.</p><p><strong>Census</strong></p><p>This sheet is rare likely because it was never produced in large quantities to begin with. There is only a single example of this sheet in US institutions. This document is located in the National Archives NAID: 5675669 and is the same sheet that Thomas Ogden Osborn sent to US Secretary of State William M. Evarts in 1880 following his role as US mediator in the negotiations for the 1881 Boundary Treaty that ended the conflict.</p><p>The only other institutional example we have been able to identify is held in the <em>Biblioteca Nacional de España</em> OCLC no. 431564806.</p><p><strong>Context is Everything</strong></p><p><em>The Strait of Magellan dispute and the "Patagonia Question" 18421881</em></p><p>The "Patagonia Question" was a nineteenth-century sovereignty dispute between Chile and Argentina over the southernmost lands of South America i.e. East Patagonia the Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego and the strategically vital Strait of Magellan. Its roots lay in the messy inheritance of Spanish colonial jurisdictions and centuries of imprecise royal decrees that left overlapping claims along the entire Andean-to-Atlantic sweep. Both countries gradually sought to translate old legal claims into an effective national occupation: Chile concentrated on the Pacific channels and the Strait. At the same time Argentina pushed settlement eastward across the pampas and into Chubut.</p><p>Tensions hardened during the mid-1800s. Chile's deliberate occupation of the Strait of Magellan symbolized by the 1843 expedition that founded Fuerte Bulnes and formally took possession of the strait alarmed Buenos Aires and was the source of repeated diplomatic protests. Argentina in turn fostered new settlements established informal alliances with indigenous leaders and ensured a significant naval presence to assert influence on the Atlantic coast. By the 1870s both states were populating adjacent zones and commissioning maps and legal arguments to buttress their claims. This map is one such example from the Argentine side.</p><p>The trigger for a negotiated containment and ultimately a resolution of the conflict came in December 1878 when Chile and Argentina signed the FierroSarratea agreement. This was an interim pact that postponed a final delimitation and established arbitration procedures to avoid a fully fledged armed conflict. Chile quickly ratified the agreement but Argentina's Congress never gave its final approval causing it to collapse as a comprehensive settlement. The outbreak of the War of the Pacific 18791884 in which Chile fought Peru and Bolivia made rapid de-escalation with Argentina diplomatically urgent. Chile wished to avoid a second front. At the same time Argentina was engaged in the "Conquest of the Desert" on its southern frontier pushing it to resolve this old conflict as well.</p><p>The crisis was finally resolved by the <em>Boundary Treaty of 23 July 1881</em>. The treaty adopted a practical formula: north to the 52°S parallel the boundary would follow the highest Andes watershed; south of 52°S the agreement recognized Chilean sovereignty over the Strait of Magellan and assigned islands and Tierra del Fuego between the two states according to specified meridians and channels. Crucially the treaty neutralized the Strait of Magellan and guaranteed free navigation to all nations; a provision that allowed international passage through the strait and prevented any single power from controlling it.</p><p>US involvement in the dispute was modest. Washington did not act as an official guarantor or principal mediator in the 1881 settlement. However diplomatic records and dispatches confirm that the situation was under close observation and US diplomats regularly reported to their superiors on the crisis's development and its regional implications especially for shipping routes. Formal third-party arbitration and boundary adjudications were carried out by various state actors notably Britain or by various bilateral protocols. In short the U.S. was an interested observer rather than a decisive actor in both the dispute and its resolution.</p><p>The conflict illustrates how colonial legal ambiguities competing settlement policies and the strategic value of a single waterway combined to produce a long fraught boundary contest. The 1881 Boundary Treaty negotiated under the shadow of other regional wars and mediated by pragmatism rather than legality integrated competing claims into a workable frontier and ensured the neutrality of the Strait of Magellan for international shipping.</p><p>Condition Description</p><p>Good. Wear and toning along fold lines.</p> Foreign Ministry of Argentina

E' considerato con Hume e Gibbon uno dei tre grandi storici inglesi del XVIII° secolo. Figlio di un ministro presbiteriano e risiedette a lungo a Gladsmuir nell'East Lothian (1743-59). Dopo aver preso parte alle rivolte contro i giacobiti che infiammarono la Scozia negli anni quaranta del settecento. Nel 1751 divenne capo del partito moderato in seno all'assemblea generale dellea Chiesa scozzese. Iniziò anche ad interessarsi attivamente alla storiografia pubblicando varie opere che ottennero subito un grande successo. Nel 1777 pubblicò il primo volume della History of America ma i moti che precedettero lo scoppio della Rivoluzione Americana lo indussero a rinunciare temporaneamete a terminare l'opera che fu completata solo posteriormente. La prima edizione italiana, contemporanea alla prima inglese, oltre a descrivere la storia dell'America, sia meridionale, centrale che settentrionale, ne analizza anche lo sviluppo economico, commerciale, gli usi e costumi, la situazione demografica, le cure tradizionali ecc. ecc.

1910230041910. Real photo postcards depicting Indigenous peoples of Argentina in the early twentieth century document communities identified in captions as Indios del Chaco alongside additional references to southern regions including Tierra del Fuego. Produced during a period of intensified state expansion and consolidation these images record Indigenous individuals and groups at a time when Argentine policies of land seizure labor exploitation and missionization reshaped Indigenous life. The archive supports research into Indigenous history Latin American nation building and the visual culture of ethnographic photography.<br /> <br /> Archive consists of 12 black and white real photo postcards each with printed Spanish captions identifying subjects by region or group. The images present posed and semi candid compositions of Indigenous men women and children including group portraits of families and community gatherings as well as individual figures. Several photographs emphasize bodily presentation attire and adornment while others depict men holding tools or weapons in open landscapes. The majority of images are associated with the Chaco region an area targeted by military campaigns and settler expansion while one card references Tierra del Fuego extending the geographic range of the archive. The postcards appear to have been issued for circulation as documentary or commercial imagery.<br /> <br /> These photographs were produced in the aftermath of campaigns such as the Conquest of the Desert and subsequent northern military actions when Indigenous populations in Argentina were subjected to displacement forced labor and incorporation into state and missionary systems. Visual documentation of Indigenous communities during this period often coincided with efforts by anthropologists missionaries and state actors to classify and record populations whose autonomy was being curtailed. The images therefore function both as records of community life and as artifacts of a broader system of representation tied to colonial governance and modernization narratives. Mild fading and edge wear to some cards with others remaining sharp; overall very good condition. This archive provides primary visual documentation of Indigenous communities in Argentina during a period of significant political and social transformation. unknown

Con 55 tavole fotolitografiche di carte (ripiegate), strumenti, tipi indigeni, esemplari botanici, etc. Buon esemplare. Spartiacque per la scienza e la geopolitica argentine, la Spedizione Australe fu un progetto dell'esploratore e tenente di marina italiano Giacomo Bove, realizzato con l'appoggio del governo argentino. L'obiettivo iniziale di arrivare in Antartide fu modificato a beneficio di una spedizione scientifica nella parte meridionale della regione patagonica. Sotto il comando militare del comandante Luis Piedrabuena e quello scientifico di Bove, la nave Cabo de Hornos e poi la San José percorsero il fiume Santa Cruz, la Isla de los Estados, lo Estrecho di Magellano, i canali fueguini, il nord della Terra del Fuoco, Punta Arenas, Río Gallegos e parte della provincia di Santa Cruz. La spedizione produsse validi risultati in campo zoologico, botanico, metereologico, etnografico, orografico e geologico.
