Title: Santa Lucía (both panorama and engraving)

Description: Large lithographed foldout panorama view of Santiago, Chile from the summit of Santa Lucia (Huelén Hill) plus a B&W engraved view of Santa Lucía, both salvaged from a damaged copy of volume 1 of Lieut. J.M. Gilliss’ The U.S. Naval Astronomical Expedition to the Southern Hemisphere during 1849-’50-‘51-‘52. The foldout is based on photographs taken from the hilltop. The sepia-tinted view sketches out the city below the hilltop, viewed by two couples (one in European dress, and one in indigenous clothing), colored by hand. Also colored in the foreground are two Chilean flags. In the city, an American flag is visible, maybe at the location occupied by the expedition.

Condition: The large foldout is in good condition, brilliant color on mildly age-toned paper, a few spots of light foxing, some creasing at folds, outside the image. The print is in poor condition, with multiple water stains and scattered foxing.

Size: Foldout: approx. 55.0 x 11.5 | Print: 9.0 x 11.5
