Recuerdos de Lima. Album tipos, trajes y costumbres dibujados y publicados
A. A. Bonnaffé, 1856-1857
BONNAFFÉ, A. A. (1820-1870). Recuerdos de Lima. Album tipos, trajes y costumbres dibujados y publicados [cover title]. Lima and Paris: Le Mercier for A. A. Bonnaffé, 1856 and 1857.

Striking color-plate images of Peruvian costumes and trades, first and second series. These lithographs were printed in Paris for and after artwork by A. A. Bonnaffé, a Frenchman who spent time in Lima—perhaps for sale as souvenirs to visitors traveling around Cape Horn. Among images of milkmen, fruit sellers, and cattle drivers are included several plates of tapadas limeñas, women wearing a characteristic but controversial Peruvian costume consisting of a long veil covering the entire face except for one eye. The Catholic Church made several failed attempts to ban this style of dress due to the anonymity it gave women on the street, but it persisted until falling out of fashion in favor of European trends. No text as issued. Palau 32375; Bobins I:3.

Two volumes, folio (443 x 300mm and 492 x 345mm). 22 hand-colored lithographs with tissue guards (some foxing, mostly at beginning of second series). Contemporary gilt-stamped blue boards (first series with new white silk doublures and neat repairs, second series rebacked to style).A. A. Bonnaffé
