About the Item
This 1882 map, published as part of the 'Comprehensive Atlas and Geography of the World' by Blackie and Son, provides an intricate depiction of Argentina, La Plata, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, and the southern region of Patagonia. This detailed cartographic work captures the geography, political boundaries, and natural features of the region during the late 19th century, showcasing the breadth of knowledge and cartographic skill of the era.
The map highlights the dramatic topography of the Andes Mountains, stretching along Chile's western edge, contrasting with the expansive plains and lowlands of Argentina and the La Plata region. Rivers such as the Paraná, Uruguay, and the Río de la Plata are prominently featured, underscoring their importance as lifelines for commerce and transportation. Key cities, towns, and settlements are carefully marked, offering insight into population centers during this period.
Regional boundaries are clearly delineated with subtle color variations, distinguishing the territories of Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and Paraguay, as well as the less-settled areas of Patagonia. The map also includes an inset focused on the southern extremities of South America, detailing the rugged coastline, islands, and waterways of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego.
This map reflects the geopolitical and geographical understanding of South America in 1882, providing valuable historical context for the region's development. With its detailed craftsmanship and aesthetic appeal, this map serves as both an educational resource and a decorative piece for historians, cartographers, and collectors interested in 19th-century South American geography.

- Frame depth: Ensure the frame has enough depth to accommodate UV-protective glass and acid-free matting.
- Matting colors: Choose a double mat:
- Inner mat: Light cream or off-white to match the paper's aged tone.
- Outer mat: Muted colors like sage green, beige, or soft gold to highlight the map’s subtle coloring without overwhelming it.
- Matting material: Use archival-quality, acid-free mat board to prevent further aging or discoloration.

Proper framing and matting will preserve the map’s condition and enhance its presentation, making it a stunning display piece.
