Buenos Aires. , June 8, 1816.. Issued a Month Before Argentina's Declaration of Independence Published a month (almost to the day) before Argentina's declaration of independence, this rare broadsheet warns the citizens of an impending invasion, detailing the shipment of arms from Portugal and the mustering of an expedition of five hundred men in Rio de Janeiro. Tape on small portion of top and bottom edge. Minor wear. Very good.
