It is from Norie/Hobbs, 1848 [noh48a]. Only information is the caption «Valparaiso».

Red and white horizontal bi-colour (reverse to current Chilean national flag) with a white 5 pointed star in square canton; proportion 2:3.

I believe that is a mistake. [It is the] Chilean flag seen in Valparaiso, or perhaps a variation (very frequent) of the chilean flag.

Possibly this flag was really in use, as there was some trouble in Valparaiso to get the Chilean flags from Santiago, so the authorities in Valparaiso made them themselves. Maybe Norie-Hobbs [noh48a] used the differentiation as they knew that the Chilean flag hoisted in Valparaiso did not look like those flags hoisted in Santiago.

The 1868 Dutch flag book shows a white five-pointed star in blue canton red over white.

The source is right, the flag but has a canton of black! Although in the scan it seems to be darkest blue, the authors had a grid of horizontal and vertical lines in the canton!
