Photographer unknown. Charles Kroehle (1867-1902) with Peruvian mummy; Peruvian mummy. 1890s. 2 albumen prints. Each circa 16 x 12 cm.

These two rare photographs depict Charles Kroehle alongside a preserved Peruvian mummy, as well as a separate image of the mummy itself. Likely taken during one of Kroehle’s expeditions in the 1890s, the photographs reflect the 19th-century European fascination with indigenous cultures and archaeological artifacts in South America. – Slightly faded, otherwise in good condition.
