Middle-aged Limena - Lima and the Andes,
EDITORS COMMENTS
an evocative 19th-century photograph from "Illustrated Travels" by H.W. Bates, showcases a woman dressed in traditional Peruvian attire, standing in a contemplative pose against the stunning backdrop of Lima and the Andes mountain range. The image, captured by an unknown photographer around 1875, offers a glimpse into the fashion and culture of the time. Augustus Frederick Lindley, the author of "Illustrated Travels," penned the accompanying text, which described the scene as "a middle-aged Limena, clad in the native costume, standing in the roadway, and looking towards the distant Andes." The woman's dress, made of rich, vibrant fabrics, is adorned with intricate patterns and embellishments, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Peru. The photograph, taken from a British publication by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin, showcases the woman in a rear view, her cape billowing in the wind, revealing the intricate details of her clothing. The image, a testament to the photographic techniques of the era, highlights the stark contrast between the woman's dress and the rugged landscape of Lima and the Andes. The photograph offers a unique perspective on the fashion and culture of South America during the 1870s, providing a window into a bygone era. The image, with its captivating subject and breathtaking setting, continues to captivate viewers and inspire appreciation for the rich history and diversity of South America.
