Item description from seller

260 x 195 mm., in early outline and recent wash colour, in good condition. An attractive map of Patagonia, a region which today is encompassed by Chile and Argentina. The name was first applied by Ferdinand Magellan in 1520. More recently the coastline reflects the voyages and surveys undertaken by Phillip Parker King (1826-30) and Robert FitzRoy (1832-36). Both included the HMS Beagle, the second included one Charles Darwin who spent some time exploring onshore. Argentina had gained independence in 1816, and Chile followed in 1818. In the ensuing decades both countries vied for control over the indigenous peoples of the region. In 1848 the Chilean government moved its main settlement to Punta Arenas enabling Chile to claim control of Tierra del Fuego and the Magellan Strait. The map is the work of Major Carl Christian Franz Radefeld (1788?1874) who became chief cartographer for Joseph Meyer, the publisher. It is engraved by Jean Adam. Provenance: Juan and Peggy Rada Collection. Tooley's Dictionary (1999-2004).
