About This Item
Lima, 1870. Albumen photographs measuring 2 x 3 ½ inches on larger mounts. Some slight fading, a few spots to one image including one with loss, about very good overall. A striking pair of early carte-de-visite portraits of Peruvian women from the Courret studios at 197 Calle de la Union, one bearing the Courret Hermanos imprint and the other with just Eugenio Courret's credit, from the same studio. Eugenio formed the Courret Hermanos firm in 1863 with his brother Aquiles. The portrait of the woman and child is particularly uncommon for the Courret catalog, as most of the photographs they took were of single wealth patrons.
