EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map print depicts the Falkland Islands, created by the Directorate of Overseas Surveys in 1983, following the South Atlantic (Falklands) War in 1982. The conflict between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the sovereignty of the islands resulted in a brief but intense military engagement. Prior to the war, the cartographic knowledge of the Falklands was based on outdated maps from the late 19th century. In response to the conflict, the British government commissioned the Directorate of Overseas Surveys to produce updated and accurate maps of the islands. This map, one of four produced between 1982 and 1984, provides a detailed and precise representation of the Falklands' geography. The map's title, "Falkland Islands, 1983," is inscribed in the lower left corner, with the scale and orientation indicated in the lower right. The map's historical significance lies in its role as a product of the South Atlantic (Falklands) War, a pivotal moment in the history of the Falkland Islands and the relationship between Argentina and the United Kingdom. The map serves as a testament to the importance of accurate cartographic information in times of conflict, as well as the role of surveying and mapping in shaping our understanding of the world.
