Summary
The fashion of visiting cards arrived in Lima in February 1859 thanks to the photographer Félix Carbillet. This album comprises seventy visiting cards that are part of the photographic collection of the BNP and include in addition to photographic portraits, some montages and caricatures that were the antecedents of the style of satirical illustrated magazines of the early 20th century. Visiting cards (portrait - card in Lima) were a format of small photos of 9 x 6 cm that became very fashionable in Peru from 1859 to 1876. They replaced the daguerreotype. The present edition includes portraits of Peruvian heroes: Francisco Bolognesi, Miguel Grau Seminario or the president Andres Avelino Cáceres, of the French emperor Napoleon III, collective photos of authors and composers, a caricature of Eugenio Courret, a photo montage of general Andres Segura, or the post-mortem photo of president Miguel de San Román, along with many other photos of unknown characters: children, women and men of high society. At the end it has a small review of the main photographic studios in Peru of the 19th century and their administrators (Franklin Pease, Garreaud, Richardson, Manunoury or Courret).
