1930231131930. Peru photograph archive a compact mid twentieth-century archive depicting Indigenous life local dress rural architecture and regional travel imagery across Peru. Though the individual photographers are largely unidentified the archive brings together commercially issued postcard photographs a real photo with contemporary inscription and a later press image offering a layered record of how Peru circulated both as lived scene and as pictorial subject between the 1930s and 1960s. The group mainly focuses on Indigenous representation in small-format photography where market scenes lakeside activity portrait studies and village environments were repeatedly framed for circulation across tourist postal and editorial contexts.<br /> <br /> Peru photo archive. Peru circa 1930s-1960s. Archive of 7 silver gelatin photographs the majority postcard-format real photo cards together with one inscribed real photo and one press release photograph all measuring 4" x 6". The images include Indigenous men women and children posed and unposed in varied rural settings: a seated figure beside a llama; women gathered in a street market with goods spread before them; Indigenous Peoples along the edge of Lake Titicaca; thatched dwellings; and a crowded village scene with sitters in woven garments and hats. The inscribed real photo shows an Indigenous boy carrying a baby on his back captioned in manuscript on the front "A big brother's care - Oroya - Peru. S. America." The press photograph shows a young man turned away from the camera a woven wrap draped over his shoulder as he faces the thatched roofs of his village; its verso retains part of a newspaper clipping and a dated stamp reading December 25 1966.<br /> <br /> The archive shows how Peru was pictured through recurring subjects of Indigenous dress family care animal labor vernacular housing and public gathering while also preserving the shift from postcard circulation to newspaper image handling. The Oroya photograph is the most individualized item in the group pairing a staged or semi-staged portrait with a handwritten descriptive caption while the stamped press image preserves direct evidence of editorial use and later circulation. As a small but cohesive archive it showcases how Latin American representation in American media was formulated and circulated to a foreign audience. Minor edgewear overall in very good condition. A well-preserved group with a strong mix of commercial vernacular and editorial photographic formats. unknown

18292505Arequipa 1829. 4pp. on a bifolium. Removed from a bound volume. A few small areas of worming slightly affecting text. Light toning and scattered faint foxing. An unrecorded and indignant diatribe concerning a mud-slinging match in the Peruvian town of Arequipa in the late 1820s which begins "Bien ruidosa ha sido la causa de los libelos famosos que corrieron ahora pocos meses en esta capital contra personas las mas notables de ella." The rest of the bifolium gives an account of the convoluted events that apparently involve several episodes of clear libel by several individuals for which their victims are having difficulty in obtaining legal remedy with the result that scandalous lies are now being spread with impunity. The author concludes by pleading for more swift reliable justice and equality before the law from authorities in Arequipa:<br /> <br /> "Si os mostrais débiles y preferis la inaccion sereis indignos de los destinos que ocupais. Patriotas y no patriotas todos son iguales ante la ley y no debeis permitir nunca que triunfe la impunidad: gloriaos en fin de padecer por la justicia pues asi dais el debido lleno à vuestros cargos."<br /> <br /> Surviving printing from Arequipa during this period is very scarce. unknown
