Eugenio Courret and the Courret Archive in Lima, Peru
During the nineteenth century, Lima, Peru was a lucrative market which attracted many foreign photographers. By far the most successful and active was Eugenio Courret, a French citizen whose studios served this South American capital from 1863 to 1935.1 In 1987, the Courret Archive, of which approximately 57 000 glass-plate negatives are by the Eugenio Courret Studio, were acquired by the Biblioteca Nacional in Lima and another estimated 10 000 p…
Ephraim George Squier
The wood-engraved illustrations in E. G. Squier's Peru, Incidents of Travel and Exploration in the Land of the Incas (1877) are among the most familiar and widely consulted images of Peruvian antiquities. Numerous archives of Squier materials have survived, but while biographies and studies of the writings have been published, appraisal of the illustrations, which he regarded as invaluable to his objectives, has previously been neglected.1
Henry De Witt Moulton
In 1865 Alexander Gardner published an album entitled Rays of Sunlight from South America, contammg 70 prints made from negatives taken in Peru by H. D. W. Moulton (Figure 1). The size of the edition is unknown but examples are exceedingly rare, and little has been published about the photographer1. As his biography reveals, Moulton was an adventurous expatriate. His work not only met Gardner's standards but endures as a significant documentation…
Th-Century Spanish photography
La Tapada Limeña
Images of people in typical local costume and vocations were among the standard offerings of any 19thcentury photographic studio. Many such themes are found in the cartes-de-visite produced in Peru during the 1860s, but by far the most important of these types was the tapada, the veiled one (Figure 1). She was considered one of the three distinctive hallmarks of old Lima, along with the picturesque Mozarabic balconies and the everpresent buzzards…
The Daguerrean Era in Peru 1939 ̃1859
Photography arrived in Peru at an auspicious moment in that nation's history, when the confusion and conflicts which erupted following independence from Spain in 1821 had begun to subside, and a new economic system was beginning a marked growth. In 1841, the first shipments of guano left the Peruvlan coastal island for Europe. The revenues generated by this resource were the transfusion needed for the nation's economic growth. A new society quick…

Prisoner in Peru
Benjamin Franklin Pease
