These two brothers, born in the mid-19th century, were the foremost publishers of albums depicting views and customs of Argentina in their time. In a nation divided between those who looked towards Europe – the birthplace of the gringos, who constituted the majority of the adult population in many cities of the humid Pampa – and the criollos, who largely maintained the lifestyle of another era, these brothers captured both worlds. This volume portrays both landscapes, presenting a total of 112 photographs that showcase substantial modifications in Argentina's scenery.
