1925rif. 227551925. Latin America SS Resolute voyage photograph album 1925 documenting a steamship journey through Central and South America during the interwar expansion of international maritime tourism following the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914. The photographs record port cities landscapes and civic landmarks encountered along the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of Latin America during a period when luxury liners increasingly connected North American travelers with destinations across the hemisphere. By the 1920s transisthmian canal travel had reshaped global shipping and passenger routes allowing cruise itineraries to combine Caribbean Pacific and South American destinations within a single voyage. The album preserves visual evidence of these emerging travel circuits while also documenting major urban and cultural centers of the region during a period of modernization and expanding hemispheric exchange. Photo album compiled during the 1925 voyage of the steamship SS Resolute containing approximately 150 original silver gelatin photographs mounted to black album leaves and captioned in white ink. Contemporary red leatherette album titled "Photographs" in gilt and bound with red cord. Photographs measure approximately 3 x 4 inches to 4 x 6 inches. The photographs document the vessel's route through Panama and the Canal Zone before continuing along the Pacific coast of South America and returning through the Atlantic basin. Numerous photographs depict Panama City and the Panama Canal including views of the Culebra Cut and Gold Hill major engineering features of the canal project completed little more than a decade earlier. Other sections of the album record urban and harbor scenes in Cartagena Colombia including colonial architecture and waterfront activity. Photographs from Peru show Lima's Plaza de Armas the bullring at Miraflores and rural Andean valleys near Arequipa with terraced agricultural landscapes and local communities. Images from Chile capture the steep hills and harbor districts of Valparaíso along with coastal plazas and naval vessels near El Morro. Additional photographs from Argentina depict major civic spaces in Buenos Aires including Plaza San Martín and Plaza de Mayo documenting the monumental architecture and modernizing urban landscape of the city during the 1920s. The steamship SS Resolute operated as a passenger liner serving long distance routes during the interwar expansion of luxury cruising and international tourism. Voyages such as the one recorded in this album reflected the growing accessibility of transcontinental travel made possible by the Panama Canal and by the increasingly global network of commercial steamship lines linking the Americas. Mild toning consistent with age; mounts and binding well preserved. Overall very good condition. The photographs collectively document a hemispheric itinerary connecting canal infrastructure colonial port cities Andean landscapes and rapidly modernizing capitals offering a visual record of the cultural and geographic environments encountered by travelers during the height of the steamship era. unknown

Interesting collection of lively original snapshot photos taken by an American traveller to Peru who left New York in March 1920 and went to Lima on board the“Santa Luisa” steamship via the Panama Canal; he stayed in Lima for about two months returning to New York on the same steamer in July 1920. The trip apparently had commercial purposes and there is reason to connect the traveller with the New York-based “Grace & Co.” a major maritime steamship company in Peru and a founder of the “Panagro” airline which connected the United States with the west coast of South America in 1928. The album contains over a dozen portraits of the compiler’s companions on board the “Santa Luisa” which belonged to the “Grace & Co.” and the same people in Lima with three photographed at their office desks.

About nine small photos show Lima environs and the Andes where the compiler travelled in June 1920 - “Chola Indian” “Inca cemetery” “Ferro Carril Central de Peru” Ancon Low Andes Chancay Valley Rontoy and others.

1738In -4°, pp. (108), 216, 196-199, (8), 229-326, capilettera, testatine e finali; pergamena coeva con lacci e titolo manoscritto al dorso. Qualche foro di tarlo che non incide sul testo. Vari errori di segnatura e numerazione delle pagine. Prima edizione di quest’opera del maggiore poligrafo e scienziato del Perù in epoca colonialista. Il libro si distingue per una vasta incoerenza delle segnature, per l’uso esteso dei capilettera di tipo “factotum”, caratteristiche entrambe dell’editore, Antonio José Gutierrez de Cevallos che possedeva la tipografia “extra muros de Santa Cathalina e fu attivo in città fino al 1750. Pedro Peralta Barnuevo (1663-1743) era rettore della Università di San Marcos e con evidenza scrisse questi dieci sermoni sulla Passione di Cristo per presentarli a una platea universitaria: si distinguono infatti per il ritmo narrativo del testo. Il lavoro è preceduto da un saggio di genealogia sulla famiglia Moscoso, una delle più influenti famiglie del Nuovo mondo, ed è ricco di informazioni storiche e politiche circa questa e altre importanti famiglie messicane, peruviane e spagnole. Vari errori di numerazione e segnatura ma libro completo. The first edition of this work by the major writer and scientist of Peru, at time. The book is interesting under a typographic point of view, because of the extended use of “factotum” initials and a wide incoherence in signatures, both typical of its publisher, Antonio José Gutierrez de Cevallos. The author was dean of San Marcos university and he wrote these ten speeches about Christ passion towards an academic audience. The work is introduced by a genealogic essay about Moscoso family, one of the most important in the New World, rich of historic and politic information about Peru and spanish colonies. Many page number and signature mistakes, but the book is complete.

The photographs include views of the site the route the compiler took up to the mine including a “station” being constructed and “Carnival Day” festivities showing dancers at the mine and a photograph of the compiler and his colleagues. Also included are 10 photographs from a river tour on the “West” and “Mayo” rivers the compiler went on showing him and his party led by indigenous South Americans in canoes on the river; at a campsite; and in a constructed house with two views from the compiler’s “balcony.” Other photographs in the collection include views of La Paz Bolivia National Day/La Paz Day parade; Santiago Chile Santa Lucía Hill and the public gardens on top; Arequipa Peru outdoor church service before a crucifix; Cusco Peru; and Incan palace ruins in Peru.
