![[Chile] Panoramic View from the Summit of Santa Lucia, (Santiago.).](jpegs/66618.jpg)
[Chile] Panoramic View from the Summit of Santa Lucia, (Santiago.).
Drawn from Camera Sketches by E.R. Smith. T. Sinclair's Lith.
[Washington: A.O.P. Nicholson, 1855.]
Tinted lithograph with touches of original hand colour, on three sheets conjoined, total 290 x 1750mm (11½ x 69"). Folded as issued, backed on linen.
A view of Santiago, the capital of Chile, from Santa Lucía Hill in the centre of the city. The touches of original colour highlight flags including two Chilean flags and a Stars and Stripes, clothing on the staffage and one cactus. The plate fails to be a true panorama by about 3cm, the width of one end margin. It was published in the first volume of 'The U. S. Naval Astronomical Expedition to the Southern Hemisphere, During the Years 1849-'50-'51-'52', titled 'Chile: its geography, climate, earthquakes, government, social condition, mineral and agricultural resources, commerce, etc.', written by James Melville Gilliss, superintendant of the expedition.
