SDUK "South America. Sheet IV. La Plata and Chile"

SDUK. “South America.  Sheet IV. La Plata and Chile.” 

London: SDUK, 1840. 12 1/4 x 15 3/8.  Engraving by J. & C. Walker.  Original outline hand coloring.  Full margins.  Very good condition. 

An early map of South America by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK).  This wonderful English enterprise was devoted to the spreading of up-to-date information and the enhancing of understanding.  Here they have produced a fine map of the region of Argentina and Chile at an early stage in its European settlement.  Coastal information abounds, and native population locations are noted, as well.  An excellent map.
