The figures represent the *cholos* or *mestizos* of Peru, illustrating the mixed Indigenous and European heritage that formed an important part of nineteenth-century Peruvian society. The image formed part of an ethnographic series illustrating the peoples and cultures of the world.

The fresh original colours and attractive composition make this an excellent decorative print as well as an appealing example of nineteenth-century ethnographic illustration from South America. This is an original antique print printed...
