Map of Argentina by Francisco Latzina, 1882
The first official argentine map, produced, after the Boundary Treaty of 1881.

This was published in Spanish, English, German, French and Italian in a edition of 120,000 copies.

It was created under the auspices of Señor Irigoyen, who had been previously responsible for negotiating the Boundary Treaty of 1881 with Chile. Due to his involvement, the significance of showing the islands as Chilean was deemed by the ICJ as a direct representation of Irigoyen's view of the boundaries between the two countries.
