Argentina Indigenous Peoples of ChacoBiblio.com

Indigenous Peoples of Chaco and Northern Regions during Native Expulsion in Argentina Photo Archive

1910rif. 230061910. Indigenous Peoples of Argentina's Chaco and Northern Regions early 20th century. This photo archive consists of 10 black and white photographs comprising three real photo postcards and four original silver gelatin photographs documenting Indigenous peoples of Argentina in rural and semi-rural settings. The materials date to the early 20th century and originate primarily from northern Argentina with several images clearly associated with Indigenous communities of the Chaco. The postcards carry printed captions in Spanish identifying subjects by regional or ethnic designation. The post cards are from the 1910s-20s while the photographs are probably from 1930s-40s demonstrating the eras between Native expulsion at the turn of the century to colonial era labor workers. Historically these images must be understood within the violent context of Indigenous dispossession and assimilation policies in early twentieth-century Argentina. Following campaigns such as the Conquest of the Desert and subsequent northern military actions Indigenous peoples were subjected to land seizure population displacement forced labor on plantations and ranches and confinement within missions or state-controlled settlements. In regions like the Chaco Indigenous communities were frequently exploited for agricultural and industrial labor under coercive conditions while their cultures were documented by missionaries anthropologists and photographers who framed them as vanishing or pre-modern. The collection depicts Indigenous men women and children engaged in daily life and posed portraiture. Group scenes show families gathered outdoors domestic labor such as food preparation and carrying water and communal resting or work areas constructed from organic materials. Several photographs emphasize mobility and subsistence including figures carrying bundles tools or containers across arid terrain while others present seated family groups framed in front of shelters or temporary dwellings. Individual and small-group portraits highlight clothing that blends Indigenous traditions with elements of imposed or adopted settler attire revealing the uneven process of cultural disruption and adaptation underway at the time. Light handling and edgewear throughout photos remain crisp and clear. Overall very good condition. This archive provides an important primary visual source for understanding Indigenous life in Argentina during a critical era of colonial consolidation offering insight into everyday practices family structures and the visual strategies through which Indigenous peoples were represented and controlled. unknown

1895 OBSEQUIO DE LA CASA. ARRUFANA GARRIDO ORTIZ & CIA cover title.

1895rif. 57189Buenos Aires Argentina: Arrufana Garrido Ortiz & Cia. 1895. An Enlightening Look at Buenos Aires and Surroundings in 1895 An interesting gift book from Arrufana Garrido & Ortiz an importing company which operated in Buenos Aires during the 1890s. Each leaf contains a black-and-white photographic illustration of a scene from Buenos Aires or its surroundings on the recto with an advertisement mostly in Spanish printed in cyan on the verso. Among the photos of cities and dramatic landscapes are also more intimate images including several of outdoor markets one of a ranching family outside their straw-roofed home with their livestock and a portrait of a family of Toba people one of Argentina's largest indigenous groups. The illustrations after photographs by Arturo W. Boote are attributed to Gunche Wiebeck y Turtl whose photoprinting and lithography office in Buenos Aires advertised in this volume printed photographs for a number of works as well as maps of Argentina Chile and the surrounding areas of South America around the turn of the 20th century. The advertisements some illustrated offer a wide array of goods and services from firearms to pocket watches to steamboat travel. One advertisement for a restaurant specializing in French and German cuisine is printed side by side in Spanish and German; the text is generally the same although the German side has an additional line that reads "Mit allem comfort der Neuzeit" which might suggest a certain outlook of European visitors towards other establishments in the city. More than just a souvenir this gift book's variety of photos both posed and candid rural and urban along with its breadth of advertisements make it a fascinating window into Argentina at the end of the 19th century. Not located on OCLC. Oblong 12mo. Original pebbled red cloth tooled in blind and gilt. Boards somewhat rubbed and worn corners worn rear hinge separated but binding still sturdy. Text moderately tanned and with a persistent stain in the lower outer corner. Good plus. hardcover
