Views of Chile and Peru

 

Series I. Album I [Peru and Chile], approximately 1868

Scope and Content Note

Album I [Peru and Chile] begins with a studio portrait of an Amazonian man wearing traditional attire. It is followed by two portraits of indigenous men in street clothes and one of two boys sitting in front of a tree. The portraits are followed by photographs of Lima, Peru and environs (18), including the port city of Callao (4); Chorillos, a coastal area south of Lima (3); Arequipa (3); and Arica, on the border of Peru and Chile (3). The Lima photographs show general views of neighborhoods, important buildings, plazas, streets, bridges and parks. The buildings include the Cathedral, Palacio, Casa Torre-Tagle, and the house of María Micaela Villegas y Hurtado de Mendoza, a Peruvian actress known as La Perricholi. Other Lima views include the Alameda de los Descalzos, the Plaza de Armas, and Calle Valladolid. Two of the Chorillos photographs show the garden of President Juan Antonio Pezet. The views of Arequipa, taken shortly after the earthquake of 1868, include two views of the ruined cathedral and one view of the plaza covered with tents and surrounded by ruined buildings. At Arica, which was part of Peru at the time the photographs were taken, one image shows the port before the tidal wave caused by the earthquake of 13 August 1868, and two photographs show large ships stranded on land following the tidal wave, including the gunboat USS Wateree, which was carried inland by the second wave. The album concludes with a view of a Bolivian plaza a large temporary [?] shrine erected in front of a central fountain; two views of mountainous locations in Chile; one view of roof tops in a town in Chile; and one photograph captioned "Grotte de Robinson Crusoe" showing a cave on one of the San Juan islands off the coast of Chile.
