About the Item

Title: Original Antique Print of Peru, Bolivia & Chile – Lima Cathedral and Views, c.1855 Description: An original antique wood-engraved print titled "Peru, Bolivia, Chile", featuring a series of finely engraved views and ethnographic scenes from the west coast of South America. The print was published in Germany around the mid-nineteenth century. At the centre of the composition is a detailed view of the Cathedral of Lima, one of the most important landmarks of the former Viceroyalty of Peru. Surrounding this principal image are ten smaller engraved vignettes illustrating the landscapes, wildlife, architecture and people of Peru, Bolivia and Chile. The scenes include the Cathedral of Chuquisaca (Sucre, Bolivia), llamas and alpacas in the Andes, the Andean condor, Indigenous inhabitants, horsemen, traders, the marketplace of Santiago de Chile, a river scene on the Marañón, tropical Indigenous dwellings, and daily life across the region. Together they provide a fascinating nineteenth-century European overview of the geography, cultures and natural history of western South America. The print combines architecture, ethnography, zoology and landscape into a single decorative composition, making it both historically informative and visually attractive. Such composite engravings were intended to introduce readers to distant countries through carefully selected representative scenes. This is an original antique print printed in the nineteenth century. It is not a modern reproduction.
