This map shows Buenos Aires at an early stage in its growth, although the immediate downtown area is fully built out. The railroads are prominently delineated. The map publisher, Pablo Ludwig, was one the formost map makers in South America at the end of the 19th century. His output included a 9 sheet map of Argentina (1896), Castro's Map of the Railways of South America (1893), and his Nuevo mapa de la Republica Argentina, Chile, Uruguay y Paraguay of 1914.

Note: Detailed map showing the city of Buenos Aires and the surrounding areas. Outside the immediate city, individual house structures are shown. We could find nothing on Pablo Ludwig. From the elegance of this map, it is clear that he was a fine cartographer. See also his Nuevo Mapa de La Republica Argentina, our #447. Full printed color map, folded into dark blue cloth covers 17.5x11 stamped with "Nuevo Plano Buenos Aires Por Pablo Ludwig" in gilt.
