Description

"Map of South America from Stielers Hand Atlas - 1889. This map, partially reproduced here, corresponds to the plate of South America in the 1889 edition of the well known Stieler Atlases published by Justus Perthes in Gotha. This german cartography establishment was one of the foremost of its time in Europe. After the signing of the Boundary Treaty between Chile and Argentina in 1881, the Justus Perthes Atlases correctly marked the frontier between the two countries.

This 1889 edition, in the extreme southern region traces the international boundary along the centre of the Beagle Channel up to beyond its eastern mouth, indicating Picton, Nueva and Lennox Islands and all other islands and islets extending southward as far as Cape Horn as being under Chilean sovereignty."
