Collection of Latin American photographs of the 19th century Inscribed 1997 What is it A collection of 8000 items featuring a variety of subjects, all depicting life in 19th-century Latin America. Why was it inscribed This is the most comprehensive historical collection of 19th-century Latin American photography extant anywhere in the American continent. It depicts a wide range of human environments and habitats and photographic genres; is drawn from every country in South America and the Caribbean; and is taken using most of the photographic techniques current in the 19th century. In all, it provides a visual history of the development of the region. Where is it Audio-visual Archive of Venezuela, National Library of Venezuela, Caracas, Venezuela The 19th century was a period of immense political and administrative change in Latin America, with the collapse of the Spanish and Portuguese empires which had been the dominant presence in the region for three centuries and the separation into new countries, often federal republics, which themselves fell prey to internal instability and dictatorship as the century progressed. Some of these historic events are recorded in the collection of Latin American photographs. They are also complemented by photographs recording the everyday lives of people of all classes, ages and nationalities, a breadth of subject matter which gives the collection a comprehensive quality. The photographs record progress, technological change and community. Taken in cities, towns and countryside, they feature busy ports, rural life and landscapes, well-known personalities and the lives of ordinary people. The collection’s portraits reveal significant differences in attitudes, styles and forms of interaction between different social classes. Some of the economic activity was shot not only for recording purposes but also for advertising. More recognisable subjects include presidential visits, natural disasters and images of war. Most of the photographic techniques used in the 19th century are represented in the collection – daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, tintypes, platinotypes, salt paper, bromide paper, gelatin paper and collodion processes. However, the most frequently used technique is albumen printing, the cheapest and easiest method of photographic reproduction and the most commonly used in the second half of the century. The standard formats of photograph are represented, in visiting cards that were normally used for photographs, cabinet prints and negative plates. The main part of the collection was in private hands in New York in the 1980s. The publicity surrounding the photographs drew the attention of an interested buyer in the Paul Getty Museum in California. However, their efforts to keep and expand the collection led the Venezuelan National Library to transfer it to their Audio-visual Archive. As a result, several South American collectors also donated their own collections to the National Library. Collection of Latin American photographs of the 19th century 415
