1918List2982Peru and Panama 1918. Approximately 364 photos; album and unmounted photos silver prints cyanotypes and printing-out-paper prints. Photos measure 3 x 4 to 8 x 10 inches with about half measuring 3 x 5 ½ inches. Some with photographer’s hand-stamp or credit in pencil; others with manuscript notations verso or recto; some captions to album pages. Offered in partnership with Daniel / Oliver.<br /> <br /> Rich and extensive photographic archive of Walton T. Burres of Stockton California showing his time in Peru c. 1904 as an amateur explorer and doctor for the Inca Mining and Rubber Company and his later work in Panama c. 1918 with the Rockefeller Foundation’s International Health Division.The collection consists of a large number of loose photos acquired by the gallery in 2021 and a recently discovered photo album showing some of the same subjects and containing a few duplicate images some printed in different sizes or formats as well as hundreds of previously unseen prints. Together this material makes up the largest extant archive of Burres’s photographic work. Though his work was published at the time both in Peruvian and American publications much of it was lost when he dropped it in a river that he was attempting to ford.<br /> <br /> Burres was educated at California’s Cooper Medical College the first school of medicine on the West Coast and was a prominent member of the Stockton community before sojourning to Peru around 1900 to help the Inca Mining and Rubber Company address the deadly diseases endemic to the region such as malaria and yellow fever. To encourage economic infrastructure in remote areas the Peruvian government began granting land concessions to any company that would build roads bridges or river ports. As a result the Inca Mining Company an American outfit based in Tirapata purchased the rights to mine gold along the upper Inambari River in 1896 and soon became the richest gold producer in Peru.<br /> <br /> A large portion of Burres’s Peruvian images document his 1903–1904 excursion from Arequipa 150 miles into “rubber country.†The journeys were well-recounted in U.S. papers and a number of the anecdotes described in print are seen in the present images.<br /> <br /> There are many dynamic views of Burres and his party trekking through the dense jungle and summiting the high mountains as well as shots of flora fauna and native Peruvians. Burres’s travel companions for this trip included the famed adventurer Harriet Chalmers Adams later dubbed “America’s greatest woman explorer†by the New York Times. Adams and her husband Frank both fellow Stocktonians joined up with Burres during their own multi-year expedition through South America. There are a number of portraits of a woman who bears a striking resemblance to Adams though it is possibly another person.<br /> <br /> Other Peruvian material includes numerous views of Cusco Arequipa and the surrounding environs including a beautiful interior of a chapel a Martin Chambi-esque detail shot of a stone wall and portraits of local townspeople some identified as Quechua people. There are a number of lush large-format cyanotypes rich printing-out-paper views and many handsome small-format panoramas. These were printed on Inca Mining Company surplus stationary which speaks to the makeshift nature of photo-development under the circumstances. One particularly striking image shows the top of Misti volcano barely visible above the clouds. This image was reproduced in Burres's account of his travels published in 1909 in Outing magazine.<br /> <br /> The photographs from Burres’s time in Panama document his more serious work as a virologist and health administrator in the area. One interesting photo shows a pair of recently-shot iguanas with a caption noting that “blood of these reptiles was found infected with Haemogregarina.†Another image is that of a new style of privy built from concrete and wire-mesh designed to better keep out rain water. There are also keenly-shot views of main streets and local culture in Los Santos Chiriquà and elsewhere including a number of humanistic group portraits taken at a girl’s school. unknown

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 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.

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.

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
