Description
1856 Two old time prints depicting gauchos catching wild horses and sea-lion (Otaria flavescens) hunters in the Falkland Islands, printed in the UK. Note: The sea lions exploitation on the islands by United States sealers was the reason for the Argentine governor, Mr Luis Vernet taking action against the sealer’s schooner « Harriet » and the later reprisal attack of the USS Lexington against Vernet and the destruction of the settlers buildings.
