1961rif. 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

Manifesto published on the eve of Peruvian independence. San Martin invaded Peru in September of 1820; negotiations between San Martin and Viceroy Pezuela took place shortly thereafter at Miraflores.

1705rif. WRCAM40826Lima 1705. 31 leaves. bound with: OFFICIAL MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT DATED 1782 - 1783. 34 leaves. Folio. Contemporary limp vellum with remnants of pigskin ties lettered on cover. Very minor soiling; some small ink-related paper loss. Near fine. This document comprises the petition of Luis de Santa Cruz y Padilla general of the Royal Armies in Peru and Chile and his wife Julia Fernández Gallardo for recognition of the establishment of an entailed estate in primogeniture of their farm and lands in the Valley of Lurigancho for the confirmation of their title in Castile and of their son as perpetual treasurer of the Royal Mint of Lima as granted by Royal Order of Nov. 12 1703. This is followed by a copy of the Royal Provision of appointment and entailment as perpetual treasurer and inspector confirmation of entailed estate of lands in Lurigancho and of the title reciting in detail the various privileges and duties of the treasurer and inspector given in Madrid Nov. 12 1703 with confirmation by the Royal Accountants in Madrid Nov. 14 1703. This is continued with the confirmation accompanied by a recital of genealogy discussion of Santa Cruz lineages and reiteration of the terms of the Royal Provision dated and subscribed by notary in Lima August 3 1705 and attested to by witnesses and subscribed by a notary in Lima March 17 1735. The second section is lengthy testimony in Lima on July 10 1782 by María Narcisa de Santa Cruz y Centeno marquise and widow of Moscoso and Mariana de Santa Cruz y Centeno marquise and widow of Otero reciting lineage in support of claims in litigation with other claimants to succession in the entailed estate prior testimony and claims of numerous heirs to inheritance orders of monetary distributions termination of the post of treasurer due to incapacity of the current heir and renunciation by female descendants and agreement of the heirs to terminate the entailed estate dated Feb. 16 1782. Lurigancho is an agricultural region some twenty-five miles to the east of Lima on the right bank of the Río Rimac. The area was isolated until a road was built to it through mountainous terrain during the viceroyalty of Manuel de Aman y Junient 1761-76. José de Santa Cruz y Gallardo 1661-1743 second Count of San Juan de Lurigancho was lieutenant governor and tax collector of the province of Yamparaes tax collector of Mizque and Pocona and chief magistrate of the mines of the Royal District of Charcas. He traveled to Madrid and was received into the Order of Santiago appointed Captain General of Chile and granted the title of Count of San Juan de Lurigancho for his father in 1694-95. He returned to Lima in 1695 but his privileges were suspended by Royal Order in 1697 and he returned to Spain to reclaim them. On Dec. 10 1702 he was named perpetual treasurer of the Royal Mint in Lima established in 1565 by viceroy Lope García de Castro a post inherited by his heirs following his death and he returned to Lima in 1703. His son Diego Santa Cruz y Centeno 1707-74 became assistant treasurer of the mint and in 1743 he inherited the post of treasurer from his father. In 1754 he was excommunicated but this was lifted to permit his continuing in his post. Entailed estates designed to maintain real property intact over generations and usually involving primogeniture deprived other heirs of opportunity to inherit. Initially this situation was resolved by entry into religious or bureaucratic life but with the passage of time and subsequent increase of the number of heirs these solutions became impossible. As more heirs of the holder of the entailed estate went from wealth to poverty on his death the practice was abolished and remaining estates such as this one were dissolved by mutual agreement of the family. hardcover books
