18-2385Pont-à -Mousson: Haguenthal 1870-1900. Large format color broadside Bilderbogen 16†x 11â€. Good. Some loss in left margin not affecting image. Bottom row of images detached from top two rows. Mounted on paper. Text in French.Originally conceived in 1796 by Jean-Charles Pellerin in his native village of Épinal Vosges the images d'Épinal were inexpensive woodcuts and lithographs of religious and historical content intended for the commonconsumer. During the Napoleonic wars these images became extremely popular as Pellerin's printing house Imagerie d'Épinal cornered the market on commemorative historical prints. During the Great War the traditional style of these prints appealed to French artists looking to show their patriotism as in the eyes of an increasingly anti-German public the image d'Épinal came to represent a distinctly French product unmarred by foreign influence. The prints had a further appeal in that their minimalist form allowed many artists to stay true to the modernist ideals of their time. Pont-à-Mousson: Haguenthal, [1870-1900]. unknown

1890List01108Mostly Patagonia 1890. Printing-out paper prints the images measuring 3 1/4x4 1/2 to 4 1/4x6 inches and the reverse each with a caption written on a label affixed to the mount below the prints. 4to blue pictorial cloth. 1890s. In this bound photo album forty-six photographs document a group traveling from pastoral locations in northern Argentina to breathtaking views at the southern tip of the continent. The photographs were taken by an accomplished photographer and handwritten captions in English provide brief descriptions of the locations and people documented. Apparently a member of an exploration commission the photographer and his team travel first from Bahia Brazil to Buenos Aires and La Pláta then on to the southern tip of the continent and back up the continent through remote lakes and mountains on both sides of the Chilean/Argentinian border.<br /> <br /> While the photographer’s name and nationality are not clear from the album there are two photographs with a Sr. Moreno who is likely the Argentinian explorer Francisco ‘Perito’ Moreno. The photographs of “Sr. Moreno†bear a clear resemblance to photographs of Francisco Moreno and they are taken in La Plata which is where Moreno was the first director of the natural history museum Museo de La Plata. On the album page following the one with photographs of Sr. Moreno there are photographs of the Museo de La Plata building and grounds. Museo de La Plata was established in 1884 and Moreno’s personal collection of 15000 pieces formed the core of the original collections Farro. In order to fill the exhibit rooms he sought more materials and carried out collecting campaigns in Patagonia. At times he hired naturalists to travel into remote parts of Patagonia to gather samples of flora fauna geology and artifacts of indigenous people’s culture Farro. Museo de la Plata was exhibiting anthropological remains and indigenous material culture at the same time that Argentina was expanding into indigenous territory Farro. In this way Museo de la Plata was not just a natural history museum it was also a force of colonialism. <br /> <br /> Not only was Argentina in the process of colonizing Patagonia but also it sought to claim and maintain territory in relation to Chile. A sixty year boundary controversy between Argentina and Chile resulted in the Treaty of 1881 in which the two countries agreed for the first time on the boundaries in Patagonia Perry. Even after 1881 vague language in the treaty that the boundary be “the most lofty peaks that divide the waters†extended the dispute until 1902 Perry. Because Patagonia had not been colonized extensively scientific exploration of the region was tied with nation-building and establishing these borders. In 1896 the Argentinean government appointed Moreno as the Expert Representative in the border dispute with Chile. He led commissions of naturalists and surveying engineers through the disputed border regions along the Andes Mountains Museo de La Plata n.d. Moreno’s work had parallels in Chile’s attempts to establish borders too: “Through the work of these explorers the state was able to.draw up laws and decrees regarding environmental destruction and more effectively defend its position in the limits conflict with Argentina†Etchegaray 2018. <br /> <br /> We do not know whether the exploration commission in this photo album was affiliated with Moreno the collections of Museo de la Plata or the boundary controversy. However given the route to the tip of the continent and the back up along the newly established border it seems possible that this commission could have played some role – whether directly or indirectly – in the process of exploration and nation building occurring at that time. <br /> <br /> References<br /> <br /> Etchegaray J.
