1910230061910. Indigenous Peoples of Argentina's Chaco and Northern Regions early 20th century. This photo archive consists of 10 black and white photographs comprising three real photo postcards and four original silver gelatin photographs documenting Indigenous peoples of Argentina in rural and semi-rural settings. The materials date to the early 20th century and originate primarily from northern Argentina with several images clearly associated with Indigenous communities of the Chaco. The postcards carry printed captions in Spanish identifying subjects by regional or ethnic designation. The post cards are from the 1910s-20s while the photographs are probably from 1930s-40s demonstrating the eras between Native expulsion at the turn of the century to colonial era labor workers. Historically these images must be understood within the violent context of Indigenous dispossession and assimilation policies in early twentieth-century Argentina. Following campaigns such as the Conquest of the Desert and subsequent northern military actions Indigenous peoples were subjected to land seizure population displacement forced labor on plantations and ranches and confinement within missions or state-controlled settlements. In regions like the Chaco Indigenous communities were frequently exploited for agricultural and industrial labor under coercive conditions while their cultures were documented by missionaries anthropologists and photographers who framed them as vanishing or pre-modern. The collection depicts Indigenous men women and children engaged in daily life and posed portraiture. Group scenes show families gathered outdoors domestic labor such as food preparation and carrying water and communal resting or work areas constructed from organic materials. Several photographs emphasize mobility and subsistence including figures carrying bundles tools or containers across arid terrain while others present seated family groups framed in front of shelters or temporary dwellings. Individual and small-group portraits highlight clothing that blends Indigenous traditions with elements of imposed or adopted settler attire revealing the uneven process of cultural disruption and adaptation underway at the time.<br /> <br /> Light handling and edgewear throughout photos remain crisp and clear. Overall very good condition. This archive provides an important primary visual source for understanding Indigenous life in Argentina during a critical era of colonial consolidation offering insight into everyday practices family structures and the visual strategies through which Indigenous peoples were represented and controlled. unknown

8vo., First Edition, with frontispiece, title-vignette and numerous illustrations (a number full-page) in the text; terracotta cloth, backstrip lettered in silver, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR ON TITLE. Bright copy of Durrell's account of his animal-collecting expedition to the Argentine during the late 1950s, travelling from Buenos Aires to Patagonia and up to Jujuy. It is another of his collaborations with his finest illustrator Ralph Thompson; the two were brought together in 1954 by Rupert Hart-Davis, who had lured Durrell away from Faber after the success of his first book 'The Overloaded Ark' three years before. The partnership was an extraordinarily fruitful one, lasting a full decade and resulting in Durrell's most attractive books, including, of course, 'My Family and other Animals'. SIGNED COPIES OF DURRELL'S EARLIER WORKS ARE VERY SCARCE.

Light edge wear. Very good. Matted. An attractive group of lithographic vignettes of scenes in and around Buenos Aires.<br/> <br/> These images were published by Rodolfo Kratzenstein who was one of the leading lithographers in Buenos Aires from the mid-1850s and are probably from pictorial letter sheets issued by his firm in that period. One illustration shows a long stretch of the cityscape of Buenos Aires from the harbour and several ships are shown in the choppy waters of the port. Other images show the "Casa de Justicia" the courts and the "Palermo"neighborhood. Two other images one of them here in two examples show scenes in the countryside outside Buenos Aires both of them depicting men on horseback dealing with wagons in difficult terrain. Pictorial letter sheets from Argentina are uncommon and these are attractive images. R. Kratzenstein unknown
