Historically significant collection of early large rare original albumen photos of the British-owned East Argentine Railway built in 1871 to connect Concordia Entre Rios Argentina and the port of Ceibo on the right bank of the Uruguay River. The railway passed Gualeguaycito Federacion Estancia Philippi Chajari Mocoreta Naranjito and Monte Caseros before reaching Ceibo which developed as the starting point of the navigation on the Upper Uruguay River. The railway company owned the Scotish-built “Mensajero” steamer which took passengers and cargo as far up as Santo Tome Corrientes Argentina. Due to financial difficulties the railway was sold to another British-owned company the Argentine North Eastern Railway in 1907. According to the pencil captions the photos were taken in 1882 and include seven general and street views of Concordia photos of railway stations in Gualeguaycito and Monte Caseros a four-span bridge in Mandisovi between Federacion and Chajari Ceibo River and nearby ranchos Monte Caseros “Mensajero” steamer in Ceibo with a visible name sign and a smaller railway bridge with the two-car train on its right side.

1878Best.-Nr. NL-02415Argentinian propaganda map of Chile's advance into Patagonia. 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. 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. 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. 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. Census 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. The only other institutional example we have been able to identify is held in the Biblioteca Nacional de España OCLC no. 431564806. Context is Everything The Strait of Magellan dispute and the "Patagonia Question" 18421881 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. 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. 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. The crisis was finally resolved by the Boundary Treaty of 23 July 1881. 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. 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. 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.

1883Quaderno manoscritto a penna e matita in 8, pp. (30) in parte scritte e in parte bb. con gora centrale non deturpante. Indicazione ms. all'ultima p.: quaderno delle sue casse porto Dseato (sic). Importante e raro autografo di questo Capitano ed esploratore al servizio del governo argentino. Di origini chiavaresi, dopo aver viaggiato al comando di un brigantino per i mari dell'estremo oriente, fu al servizio tra il 1875 e il 1885 del governo argentino nell'attivita' dell'eslporazione e dello sfruttamento delle sue terre australi. Nel 1883, su sua proposta, venne organizzata una missione esplorativa nell'area di Porto Deseado che duro' tra l'11 aprile e il 14 novembre. In questo periodo vennero effettuate tutte le misurazioni e i rilievi finalizzati allo stabilimento di una colonia, fatto che avvenne l'anno successivo. Questo importantissimo brogliaccio risale proprio agli ultimi giorni di questa missione, come testimoniano le date apposte a margine delle 4 liste dei materiali caricati alla volta di Buenos Aires sul piroscafo Bahia Blanca comandato dal Capitano Ferro (11, 12, 13 e 14 novembre 1883). Di grande interesse l'esame delle liste dei materiali, che vanno da materiale geodeico e da rilevamento a tende, letti e coperte, tende, arnesi da lavoro ecc. Le pagine iniziali, dedicate ad una sommaria descrizione della localita', riflettono quanto pubblicato nella relazione a stampa edita nel 1884 e qui acclusa. Nel manoscritto poi, compaiono ampie annotazioni a matita di altra mano e che potrebbero attribuirdi a tal Luis Marzano, uomo al servizio dello stesso Oneto. Occore anche annotare che Antonio Oneto si reco' l'anno successivo, con 24 famiglie di coloni, al fine di fondare la citta'. La raggiunse il 15 luglio 1884 ma il 21 giugno 1885 mori' senza veder completata la sua opera. Attualmente, ogni 15 luglio, la citta' rende omaggio alla memoria dell'Oneto con cortei alla sua tomba ed al suo monumento. C.

1808Best.-Nr. 41553London. 1808. Detailed Account of the British Invasion of Argentina In 1807 Gen. John Whitelocke was sent to the Rio de la Plata with a large force. His goal was to reinforce British troops already operating there and in Argentina and to seize Buenos Aires a move designed to open up the markets of South America to British commerce and replace those lost on the Continent by Napoleon's blockade. Despite his large force Whitelocke proceeded cautiously and ineptly further hampered by bad weather. The assault on Buenos Aires was met by civilian as well as military resistance when the British had expected local merchants to welcome them with open arms. Craufurd commanded a light brigade which led the attack on Buenos Aires and successfully achieved its objectives. However a large part of the attacking force was cut off and forced to surrender while Whitelocke napped in his tent and Craufurd's brigade was ordered to surrender with the rest of the British force. Santiago Liniers the Spanish commander proposed a truce if the British would promise to withdraw in two months but said he could not answer for the safety of the prisoners if the attack was renewed. Feeling that the object of the expedition was now untenable Whitelocke accepted those terms. The British withdrew to Montevideo and then to England losing what might have been a foothold in South America. Whitelocke was the subject of the greatest scorn on returning to England where he was court-martialed and cashiered. Though this work is sometimes attributed to Gen. Whitelocke the accusatory and wounded tone of the narrative makes that unlikely. viii2161pp. plus four folding maps. Antique-style three-quarter calf and marbled boards.
