Il en rapporta le caoutchouc et la première description de l'arbre « quinquina ».

1961ref. 231231961. Baum Allyn. Peru photo archive a substantial working group of large original photographs and related New York Times material centered on Baum's Peru assignments significant for preserving a photographer's own visual record of Andean and Amazonian travel Indigenous communities village life and editorial circulation within mid twentieth century American newspaper photojournalism. Allyn Baum was a staff photographer for The New York Times from 1957 to 1967. Included is a typed note from New York Bureau Chief Gedeon de Margitay congratulating Baum on the Peru photographs published in the Magazine together with the January 21 1962 New York Times article "Into the Unknown" directly linking the images to their original publication context and to contemporary American visual encounters with Peru's Indigenous regions and frontier geographies. From the estate of Allyn Baum. Peru and New York. 1961-1973. Archive of 48 items including 46 large silver gelatin photographs a New York Times article written by Baum and a single-page typed letter regarding publication. Most photographs measure 8" x 10" while 9 larger examples measure 10" x 13". Several are mounted on board and bear Baum's signature or detailed inscriptions such as "Jungle Priest" "Headhunter" and "High Andes Quechua Indians in Peru. Working in home . producing products for sport." Many retain original press captions or handwritten notes on the versos some in Baum's own hand. The photographs document river and jungle travel in the Amazon Basin village and market scenes domestic interiors American aircraft and extensive portrait studies of Andean and Amazonian Indigenous peoples. Indigenous sitters appear weaving spinning wool knitting carrying children traveling by canoe gathered near riverside settlements or posed in both formal and informal portrait settings. Several photographs emphasize textile production and traditional labor practices among Quechua communities in the high Andes while others focus on Amazonian Indigenous groups photographed within thatched settlements and river communities preserving material evidence of architecture clothing subsistence practices and daily life during a period when American newspaper photography increasingly framed Indigenous South America through the lens of exploration modernization and remote access. The archive is a strong record of Peru in the early 1960s documenting not only transportation networks settlement patterns and regional travel but also Indigenous cultural continuity across both Andean and Amazonian environments. Baum's photographs repeatedly center Indigenous Peruvians not simply as background figures within landscape photography but as primary subjects whose labor dress craft production domestic life and physical presence structure the visual narrative of the archive. The accompanying New York Times material preserves the editorial framework through which these images entered American mass circulation while the de Margitay note confirms internal recognition of Baum's Peru work within the newspaper itself. The later date range appears to reflect continued press handling reuse and captioning rather than a single production moment giving the archive additional value as a working newspaper photography file shaped over time. Minor edgewear throughout; versos with original handwritten descriptions by Baum and press editors. A cohesive and well-preserved Peru field photography archive documenting Indigenous life regional travel and mid century American photojournalism connected to The New York Times. unknown
