We know very little about Agustin - Auguste or Augustin - Peraire, we do not know if he winessed the events or even went to Queretaro. More likely, he acted as a studio photographer and an editor, who could access and reproduce the photographs of François Aubert. We know his address in the year of the dramatic events: 1, San Jose el real and the name of his partner, Manuel Murghía y Romero (1807-1860), with whom he published an important iconographic source for the historians, the Album Maximiliano. The albumen prints reproduced here belong to the personal album of Philippe de Massa (1831-1910) who arrived in Mexico in the Summer 1866 as the young “aide-de-camp” of general Bazaine, already on the move to leave Maximilien. The e-bulletins present articles as well as selections of books, albums, photographs and documents as they have been handed down to the actual owners by their creators and by amateurs from past generations. The physical descriptions, attributions, origins, and printing dates of books and photographs have been carefully ascertained by collation and through close analysis of comparable works. The album is available and for sale. Paypal is accepted.
