Amerique du Sud Photograph Album, 1886
Scope and Content
Album with mounted photographs. Most notable is a folded panorama of the harbor and city view of Rio de Janeiro. The panorama is a collotype, possibly from a photograph by Brazilian photographer Marc Ferrez. Photos apparently taken in South American countries other than Brazil include residential buildings (one with fantastic, eclectic architecture), a Victorian-era interior, family groups, horses and carriages, gauchos with cattle, and a landscape taken at Isla de Lobos - on the Atlantic coast of Uruguay - showing sea lions on a rocky seashore. There are many blank pages in album. Bound in green cloth with leather corners and spine; title "Amerique du Sud, 1886" in gilt on cover; marbled end papers.
