Description: Reclus19_54 1894 Reclus print SAN SALVADOR DE JUJUY, JUJUY PROVINCE, ARGENTINA, #54 Nice view titled Jujuy. - vue generale, from wood engraving with fine detail and clear impression, approx. page size is 27 x 18 cm, approx. image size is 19 x 13 cm. From La Nouvelle Géographie universelle, la terre et les hommes, 19 vol. (1875-94) (edition in English: The Earth and Its Inhabitants, 1878-94), great work of Elisee Reclus. San Salvador de Jujuy city, capital of Jujuy provincia, northwestern Argentina. It lies between the Xibi-xibi and Grande rivers, overlooking the valley of Jujuy at 4,131 feet (1,259 m) above sea level. It was founded in 1593 by Francisco de Arganarás y Murguia, a colonial soldier, after the consolidation of Spanish power over the local Omaguaca Indians. Jesuits and Franciscans established churches and libraries there, as well as reducciones (work missions) for the Indians, and the city became a regional cultural centre. Its economy is basically agricultural (sheep raising, sugar, and fruit growing), and tourism, promoted by the outstanding pre-Columbian and colonial art and architecture, is also important. Historic landmarks include the cathedral (begun 1606), which contains many 18th-century art treasures, and the Government House, where the original national flag is kept. The city is linked by rail to Bolivia and to the rest of Argentina by air and rail. Pop. (1980) 124,487.
