A pair of maps illustrating the southern half of the continent of South America. They were prepared by Huot, Victor (1867‐1915) for the ‘Atlas Universel de Geographie’. A fine detail there is an especially detailed inset of the region of Buenos Airies and Montevideo. Huot appears to have specialised in maps of South American and Africa and worked for the publisher’s Hachette & Cie. A member of the Paris Geographical Society he was killed on 28 April 1915. It is not recorded at which battle in the First World War he died, but on that day 14,000 French and British troops took part in the first battle of Krithia on the Gallipoli peninsula. There were 1,001 French casualties. Published by Librarie Hachette, this is from a later edition of 1930. Provenance: private collection of Juan and Peggy Rada. ‘Geographical Review’ (1916), 1 (3): 226 (Obituary).
