Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

38 loose gelatin silver photographs from ca. 17.5 x 12 cm (6 ¾ x 4 ¾ in) to 10.5 x 8 cm (4 x 3 in). 21 images captioned in pencil on recto; 11 images captioned in ink on recto; four images captioned in ink on recto. a few photos mildly faded or with mild creasing on edges, but overall a very good collection of interesting photos. An interesting collection of photographs showing mining activities in the South American Andes in the early 20th century. 6 photographs show the mines of Santo Domingo in Peru. Santo Domingo was a gold mine located in southeastern Peru and in operation sometime between 1890 and 1920. The photographs show the offices, miner dormitories, and general views of the site. 9 photographs show the mines of Concordia, possibly the Concordia Tin Mine in western Bolivia. The Concordia Tin Mine is most well known for being where notorious American outlaws Butch Cassidy (1866-1908) and the Sundance Kid (1867-1908) allegedly worked after fleeing the United States in the early 1900s. 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. Overall, an interesting collection showing South America during the early 20th century.…
