The German photographer Charles Kroehle is considered one of the pioneering photographers of the Amazon. He travelled on several expeditions to the Amazon, Ecuador and Bolivia. During those trips some of the first photographs were taken of indigenous people. The rare portraits offered here are mostly from the Amazon in Peru. They show people such as the Pirus (Rio Pichis); Canelos (Rio Pastaza); Múra-Pirahã (Rio Pachitea); Huasheri (Rio Napo); Campa (Rio Palcazu); Cunibo (Rio Ucayali); Lorenzo (Rio Mayra); Cachivo (Rio Pchitea); Chipivas (Rio Ucayali); Cashiva, (Chonta Isla, Rio Pachitea).
