With another watercolour of the same size mounted on verso the second watercolour is also captioned in period ink on the mount. Overall beautiful bright watercolours. Attractive early watercolour view of the Pachacamac archaeological site near Lima drawn by a British or American tourist in the early 20th century. The watercolour shows Pachacamac looking northeast towards the Andes. The site was settled before the Inca conquest and dedicated to the “Earth Maker” creator god Pacha Kamaq. It was utilized by the Incas and flourished for about 1300 years until the Spanish invasion. Modern-day excavations in Pachacamac started in the 1890s. The watercolour on verso taken during a ride on the Peruvian Southern Railway Ferrocarril del Sur depicts the sand dunes of the Arequipa desert with the Andean foothills in the background. The ink caption on the mount reads “From the train between Mollendo & Arequipa Peru 7550 ft. March 1.” Overall a collection of two attractive early watercolour views of Peru. unknown

The envelope (141 x 73mm) is addressed to "Mr. T. Jenkin. 32, Strada Reale. Malta", contained within is a piece of brown cloth (46 x 21mm) with edges frayed, on the reverse of the envelope in a contemporary hand "A Piece of "Pizzaio's" "Shroud" taken from the Cathedral at "Lima" in 1870. Not by [Miracle?]. Pizzaro was the Conqueror of Peru about 1520." Gonzalo Pizarro (1513-1548) was a Spanish conquistador who was one of his brother Francisco's main lieutenants during the conquest of the Inca Empire. Gonzalo was cruel and ruthless, but undeniably a very effective soldier. After the conquest, he fought alongside his brothers and their supporters during the civil wars that broke out among the conquistadors. Later, he led the resistance in Peru to the "New Laws" of 1542, taking up arms against an official Spanish Viceroy: this earned him a royal execution in 1548. "Gonzalo's remains were not exposed to the indignities inflicted on Carbajal's, whose quarters were hung in chains on the four great roads leading to Cuzco. Centeno saved Pizarro's body from being stripped, by redeeming his costly raiment from the executioner, and in this sumptuous shroud it was laid in the chapel of the convent of Our Lady of Mercy in Cuzco." (Precott, The Conquest of Peru, p.497).
