A photographic album of ancient Peruvian grave pottery from the Santa valley near Chimbote, photographed in 1877 by J. W. Hennager of New Rochelle for the collector W. W. Evans. The pictures are plain studio photographs of numbered vessels set in rows on dark draped tiers, showing their shapes, surfaces and modelled figures, useful to a designer looking for sculptural clay forms and ceremonial vessel silhouettes.
