South America - Philip Son & Nephew, c.1860
Note that Argentina is still called La Plata on this map.
The first mention of the name Argentina appeared in a poem in Spain in 1602, and subsequently in 1776, the area which would now comprise of Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia and Uruguay was officially named the Virreinato del Río de la Plata, or the Viceroyalty of the Rio de la Plata. When the country’s constitution was written in 1826, the country was called the Republic of Argentina, and remains so today. (Source: theculturetrip.com)
However, according to Linda Hannas's book, Philip & co weren't in Fleet St until 1856 so I guess they must have chosen an old map for this puzzle.
