1925227551925. Latin America SS Resolute voyage photograph album 1925 documenting a steamship journey through Central and South America during the interwar expansion of international maritime tourism following the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914. The photographs record port cities landscapes and civic landmarks encountered along the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of Latin America during a period when luxury liners increasingly connected North American travelers with destinations across the hemisphere. By the 1920s transisthmian canal travel had reshaped global shipping and passenger routes allowing cruise itineraries to combine Caribbean Pacific and South American destinations within a single voyage. The album preserves visual evidence of these emerging travel circuits while also documenting major urban and cultural centers of the region during a period of modernization and expanding hemispheric exchange.<br /> <br /> Photo album compiled during the 1925 voyage of the steamship SS Resolute containing approximately 150 original silver gelatin photographs mounted to black album leaves and captioned in white ink. Contemporary red leatherette album titled "Photographs" in gilt and bound with red cord. Photographs measure approximately 3 x 4 inches to 4 x 6 inches. The photographs document the vessel's route through Panama and the Canal Zone before continuing along the Pacific coast of South America and returning through the Atlantic basin. Numerous photographs depict Panama City and the Panama Canal including views of the Culebra Cut and Gold Hill major engineering features of the canal project completed little more than a decade earlier. Other sections of the album record urban and harbor scenes in Cartagena Colombia including colonial architecture and waterfront activity. Photographs from Peru show Lima's Plaza de Armas the bullring at Miraflores and rural Andean valleys near Arequipa with terraced agricultural landscapes and local communities. Images from Chile capture the steep hills and harbor districts of Valparaíso along with coastal plazas and naval vessels near El Morro. Additional photographs from Argentina depict major civic spaces in Buenos Aires including Plaza San Martín and Plaza de Mayo documenting the monumental architecture and modernizing urban landscape of the city during the 1920s.<br /> <br /> The steamship SS Resolute operated as a passenger liner serving long distance routes during the interwar expansion of luxury cruising and international tourism. Voyages such as the one recorded in this album reflected the growing accessibility of transcontinental travel made possible by the Panama Canal and by the increasingly global network of commercial steamship lines linking the Americas. Mild toning consistent with age; mounts and binding well preserved. Overall very good condition. The photographs collectively document a hemispheric itinerary connecting canal infrastructure colonial port cities Andean landscapes and rapidly modernizing capitals offering a visual record of the cultural and geographic environments encountered by travelers during the height of the steamship era. unknown

18614525Lima and Callao Peru 1861. Very good. Thirteen autograph letters signed totaling twenty-six pages. Original mailing folds minor wear some fold separations and short tears to a few letters. An informative collection of manuscript letters sent back to the United States by John C. Valencia a businessman working in Peru just before the Civil War. John is writing to his wife Josefina and his Aunt Brunner in New York City and Yorkville New York over roughly a two-year period between February 27 1859 and January 14 1861. Apparently Josefina and their children were living with Aunt Brunner in New York at least for a time while John was trying to conclude business related to Peruvian real estate held by his deceased brother and now owned by his sister-in-law. In one letter he mentions that he working in the sea port in order to raise some amount of money to send home. John misses his wife and family and writes with longing about returning to his wife often mentions the money he is sending back with each letter or plans to send soon sometimes reports on his business activities urges patience from his wife while he tries to make money and more.<br /> <br /> From his first letter John is not having a pleasant time in Peru. Writing from Lima on February 27 1859 John comments that "I am sorry of having proposed such a thing for this country is very corrupt no moral of no kind in those People.I am afraid to be contaminated with the influence of the wicked." He again bemoans the state of Peru in his next letter from Callao: "I hope the Lord will help me in coming home as soon as I can. I am disgusted with the costume of this country. They are so deprived that I can not be happy in this land but with your advice I will remain till I get some money even if I have to stay longer." John would stay almost two more years in the space of the present letters and his business was not concluded when the present letters end. While in Peru John spends some time "in the House of a friend of my Father" which may indicate John was a native Peruvian or Peruvian-American with roots in the country; reports on the process of the mail and his work in the port of Callao; details his deceased brother's real estate holdings and frequently mentions the difficulty he is having with his brother's widow he reports in one of his two short letters to his aunt that he is in a "Law Suit" with the widow. In one letter John makes it perfectly clear how he sees himself among the people of Peru: "I am tired already of this country. There is nothing but rebolution sic that is the principal business of the Perubians sic. As for my part I am American and I am always with them." The conflict John mentions may be a reference to the Ecuadorian-Peruvian War which took place between 1857 and 1860; this may also help explain why real estate issues inside Peru were difficult to conclude at this time. In his penultimate letter John states that he plans to be back in New York by May 1861 but in his last letter he sadly reports that he must remain in Peru longer in order to conclude his business affairs. unknown
