Engineering map of the Buenos Aires district owned and inscribed by the Welsh railway engineer Arthur - Arturo - Coleman who moved to Argentina to become a central figure in the construction of Argentina’s Great Southern Railway or FC Sud in the 1890s. Coleman (1868-1952), who has inscribed the tail of the map, helped develop cities in the desert, built bridges and tunnels, and went on to rub shoulders with Eva Peron. Later, Coleman wrote several books in Spanish on the railroads in Argentina and his house, ‘Casa Coleman’, is now a museum.

DESCRIPTION: (76x101cm) 42 panel paper map mounted on linen, crisp and clean in the publisher’s brick-red binding with black lettering. The tail of the map has been boldly inscribed by Arthur Coleman; the front pastedown of the binding is inscribed by his father back in Wales: ‘July 1893 Peter Coleman, Brynmenyn’.
