A volume in Large Folio (measures: 39 x 29.5 cm) with the numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 to 11 - all with their covers and back covers, and 13, without the cover. The collection was edited by Adolfo Carranza, its director; in the first period 24 numbers were published (1). The copy has among so many illustrations, the double sheet with the views of Tucumán and Santiago del Estero in 1870. Modern binding. Exemplar in good condition. Peña, pp. 300 - 303. Suárez, n. 3113-3114, offered the collection with its 29 deliveries, indicating "beautiful publication", and rescuing its worth. Palau, n. 118370.

It was published between 1908 and 1911. The newspaper reproduced with great technical resolution numerous works (paintings, engravings, drawings, etc.) belonging to the National Historical Museum's heritage. Trichomies and cytochromies were performed in the Weiss and Preusche workshops.

The Argentine Historical Illustration is perhaps the most important editorial work referring to Argentine history in terms of the reproduction of manuscripts and printed matter of the time, as well as the iconography of those episodes. Without a doubt, a wonderful source of information for any bibliophile, historian and interested in our history.

Notes:

1. In the second stage 5 numbers were published and extremely rare, a supplement.
