1861réf. 4525Lima and Callao Peru 1861. Very good. Thirteen autograph letters signed totaling twenty-six pages. Original mailing folds minor wear some fold separations and short tears to a few letters. An informative collection of manuscript letters sent back to the United States by John C. Valencia a businessman working in Peru just before the Civil War. John is writing to his wife Josefina and his Aunt Brunner in New York City and Yorkville New York over roughly a two-year period between February 27 1859 and January 14 1861. Apparently Josefina and their children were living with Aunt Brunner in New York at least for a time while John was trying to conclude business related to Peruvian real estate held by his deceased brother and now owned by his sister-in-law. In one letter he mentions that he working in the sea port in order to raise some amount of money to send home. John misses his wife and family and writes with longing about returning to his wife often mentions the money he is sending back with each letter or plans to send soon sometimes reports on his business activities urges patience from his wife while he tries to make money and more. From his first letter John is not having a pleasant time in Peru. Writing from Lima on February 27 1859 John comments that "I am sorry of having proposed such a thing for this country is very corrupt no moral of no kind in those People.I am afraid to be contaminated with the influence of the wicked." He again bemoans the state of Peru in his next letter from Callao: "I hope the Lord will help me in coming home as soon as I can. I am disgusted with the costume of this country. They are so deprived that I can not be happy in this land but with your advice I will remain till I get some money even if I have to stay longer." John would stay almost two more years in the space of the present letters and his business was not concluded when the present letters end. While in Peru John spends some time "in the House of a friend of my Father" which may indicate John was a native Peruvian or Peruvian-American with roots in the country; reports on the process of the mail and his work in the port of Callao; details his deceased brother's real estate holdings and frequently mentions the difficulty he is having with his brother's widow he reports in one of his two short letters to his aunt that he is in a "Law Suit" with the widow. In one letter John makes it perfectly clear how he sees himself among the people of Peru: "I am tired already of this country. There is nothing but rebolution sic that is the principal business of the Perubians sic. As for my part I am American and I am always with them." The conflict John mentions may be a reference to the Ecuadorian-Peruvian War which took place between 1857 and 1860; this may also help explain why real estate issues inside Peru were difficult to conclude at this time. In his penultimate letter John states that he plans to be back in New York by May 1861 but in his last letter he sadly reports that he must remain in Peru longer in order to conclude his business affairs. unknown books

E' considerato con Hume e Gibbon uno dei tre grandi storici inglesi del XVIII° secolo. Figlio di un ministro presbiteriano e risiedette a lungo a Gladsmuir nell'East Lothian (1743-59). Dopo aver preso parte alle rivolte contro i giacobiti che infiammarono la Scozia negli anni quaranta del settecento. Nel 1751 divenne capo del partito moderato in seno all'assemblea generale dellea Chiesa scozzese. Iniziò anche ad interessarsi attivamente alla storiografia pubblicando varie opere che ottennero subito un grande successo. Nel 1777 pubblicò il primo volume della History of America ma i moti che precedettero lo scoppio della Rivoluzione Americana lo indussero a rinunciare temporaneamete a terminare l'opera che fu completata solo posteriormente. La prima edizione italiana, contemporanea alla prima inglese, oltre a descrivere la storia dell'America, sia meridionale, centrale che settentrionale, ne analizza anche lo sviluppo economico, commerciale, gli usi e costumi, la situazione demografica, le cure tradizionali ecc. ecc. Prima rara edizione italiana.
1823réf. 54967Lima: Imprenta Administrada por J. Antonio Lopez 1823. Cochrane Defends His Actions in the Fight for Peruvian Independence A scarce Peruvian imprint in which the Earl of Dundonald defends himself against accusations made by his own military commander Gen. José San Martin during the Peruvian war for independence. The first section contains San Martin's allegations against Cochrane followed by the Admiral's refutation of the various charges. Admiral Thomas Cochrane 10th Earl of Dundonald 1775-1860 fought for South American independence after being dismissed from the British navy. He served as a vice admiral in the Chilean navy and his blockade played an important role in securing Peruvian independence. After helping Chile achieve independence a dispute arose between Cochrane and San Martin over rewards and other spoils of war. It was not the first time nor would it be the last that Cochrane accused those he had served of failing to adequately compensate him. Still he was a brilliant naval officer who was later reinstated into the British navy and served with distinction until his death in 1860. His legendary worldwide naval adventures influenced both C.S. Forester and Patrick O'Brian in their respective Horatio Hornblower and Jack Aubrey series of historical naval fiction. OCLC records nine copies of this work over five separate entries. Small quarto. Dbd. Moderate dampstaining. Very good. MEDINA LIMA 3756. PALAU 148961. VARGAS UGARTE 5038. STEVENS NUGGETS 579.

1900réf. 232171900. Peru glass lantern slide archive documenting Indigenous and rural life in the Perené and Cuzco during a period where the political economy shaped was by export agriculture regional extraction and foreign institutional interest. In this period Peru was governed by a coastal elite tied to export markets and to the expansion of state and commercial control into the interior and images of carriers river craft family groups and gathered communities register how Indigenous people were affected by that process through incorporation into frontier economies while also being recast for North American educational audiences as ethnographic subjects. Photo archive of 6 black and white glass lantern slide photographs each 3.25" x 4" Peru early 1900s. Issued as lecture materials for the Philadelphia Museum. The group includes a family or community portrait posed before a thatched structure with adults and children wearing brimmed hats layered garments shawls and patterned skirts; a closer seated group of women and children gathered around large ceramic vessels; also includes a large outdoor crowd scene showing a densely gathered public space filled with adults and children; a posed family and community portrait before a rustic structure with men women and children wearing layered garments shawls and broad-brimmed hats; a closer domestic scene centered on seated women and children gathered around large ceramic vessels; a river crossing in the Rio Perené region showing an adult and child standing on a balsa or log raft using poles to navigate the current; an "Indian Carrier" posed beside a railroad car linking Indigenous labor and movement to expanding transportation networks; and a closer portrait of an Indigenous man framed by a larger crowd gathered behind him. Several slides retain typed or manuscript labels including references to "Rio Perene" and "Hutchins Indian in Balsa" while institutional labels read "The Philadelphia Museums" and "Negative by E. Tyson Hutchins / Use restricted to school lectures in museum" establishing the archive as part of a formal educational and interpretive program rather than private travel photography alone. The archive is particularly effective because it balances portraiture with broader communal documentation. The large crowd scene family grouping and market or gathering views shift the photographs away from isolated ethnographic "types" and toward visible social environments populated by children laborers families and community members. The railroad image and river crossing additionally place Indigenous Peruvians within the transportation and frontier systems increasingly tied to trade extraction regional movement and outside institutional observation in the early twentieth century. During the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries regions such as the central selva and Perené valley were increasingly bound to colonization schemes plantation agriculture and extractive enterprise while Indigenous communities faced land pressure labor demands and outside scrutiny from state agents missionaries traders and foreign observers. No cracks or chipping; crowd image lacking its original frame with glass and matte border loose; otherwise very good condition. A concise record of how Indigenous and local Peruvians were photographed within overlapping systems of frontier incorporation and museum interpretation. unknown
