BONAFFE, A. A.
Recuerdos de Lima. Álbum. Tipos, Trajes y Costumbres Dibujados.
A rare costume book depicting the people of Peru. The artist and publisher A.A. Bonnaffé (1820–1870) was a native of France who appears to have lived for a time in Lima. The city was, of course, a port-of-call for vessels sailing around the Horn. Bonnaffé’s vivid color plate books doubtless made splendid souvenirs for visitors. This is the first of two volumes of lithographs of Lima subjects published by Bonnaffé in 1856 and 1857.
