- Summary
- Noted photojournalist Herman Schwarz uses the history of the famous photographic studio that brothers Eugène and Aquiles Courret opened in the city of Lima in 1865 to make a summary of the history of photography in Peru since the arrival of the first daguerreotype in Callao in 1842. Eugène Courret (France 1841-1900), was a French photographer, based in Lima, who was an exceptional witness of the Chilean occupation of Lima, particularly in the bathing areas of Chorrillos, Barranco and Miraflores, and who photographed the combat of Dos de Mayo, the 19th century construction of railway lines and the disgraceful reality of slavery work in the extraction of guano from the islands by coolie workers. In 1892 Eugène Courret returned to France and transferred the business to Adolfo Dubreuil, who directed it until its closure in 1935. Fortunately, in 1986 the National Library of Peru acquired the Courret file, one of the most important collections for the documentary history of Peru. This widely illustrated edition documents the saga of the Courret family and their photographic legacy.
