An extremely rare collection of views after Juan Lčon Palličre, depicting life in South America in the mid-19th century, with Argentina, Brazil and Chile. Subjects include gauchos, street traders in Buenos Ayres, farmers and river men. Palličre was born in Argentina 1823 and trained as an artist in France before returning to South America in 1848. His album was published in Buenos Aires and, although Borba de Moraes' 'Bibligraphia Brasiliana' counts 52 plates, we have been unable to trace a complete example.
