Pub Note: 
Esploracion hidrográfica de la costa i Ríos de la Araucanía, by Francisco Vidal Gormaz, published in Santiago. Comprised of three parts, each with separate title pages, dated 1867, 1869 and 1870. Foremost volume title translates to: Hydrographic exploration of the coast and rivers of the Araucanía. The Araucanía Region of central Chile encompasses terrain ranging from the west's Pacific coastline to volcanoes and the Andes mountains in the east. The Araucanía is the heartland of the indigenous Mapuche people, who resisted both Inca and Spanish attempts at conquest. However, since 1885, the territory has been part of Chile. Atlas features nautical charts showing coastal areas - including bays - and rivers of the Araucanía. Bound in board with leather spine. Front and back covers decorated with black and blue marbled paper. Gilded spine title, which translates to: Notes on the coast of Chile. Collation: [1], [1-3], 4-32, [1], 4-46, [1], [1], 2-77, [1], [1], 2-109, [110-112], 1-18, 89-110, [341], 342-355, [356-357], 358, [1], [1] pages, with [17] leaves of plates interspersed within the text. Plates contain fourteen nautical charts, five cross section views, one statistical chart and one diagram. Nautical charts show cities, roads, topography, vegetation, shorelines, shoals, islands, soundings and anchorage. Charts include latitudinal and longitudinal lines, coordinate points, bar scales, scale statements, compass roses and arrows indicating the direction of water flow. Relief illustrated with hachures. In addition, this copy of the atlas has handwritten annotations, in ink, on the first page (unnumbered and originally blank), and throughout the text.
