Pass over the Cordillera - A Ramble in Peru,
EDITORS COMMENTS
an 1875 photograph from "Illustrated Travels" by H.W. Bates, presents a breathtaking view of a Peruvian mountain pass. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, showcases the Cordillera mountain range in all its grandeur, with the sun casting long shadows over the rugged terrain. In the foreground, a shepherd with a staff in hand tends to his flock of sheep, their white wool contrasting sharply against the barren, rocky landscape. The background is dotted with small farming communities, where locals work the land and go about their daily lives. The image offers a glimpse into the agricultural practices of the time, with crops such as potatoes and corn growing in terraced fields. The photograph, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London, is a testament to the beauty and diversity of South America during the 19th century. Augustus Frederick Lindley, the author of "Illustrated Travels," wrote extensively about his experiences in Peru and other South American countries, providing valuable insights into the culture, people, and geography of the region. The image, with its intricate details and rich textures, transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the raw beauty of the Peruvian landscape and the simple pleasures of rural life in the late 1800s. The photograph is a reminder of the power of visual storytelling and the enduring allure of travel literature.
