Atlante.mondiale.hoepli.1899

The map "Argentina e Chili meridionali" (Southern Argentina and Chile) partially reproduced here is included in the work "Atlante Mondiale Hoepli", by Giovanni Roncagli, Naval Lieutenant and Secretary General of the Italian Geographical Society and published in Milan in 1899. In this map there is no international boundary traced in the Beagle Channel, but differences in the coulorings given to the territories belonging to Chile and Argentina show Chilean sovereignty over Picton, Nueva and Lennox Islands and all the other islands extending southward as far as Cape Horn.
