This is a book of photographs of Peru, covering the great geographical and cultural diversity of the country. Photos taken by twenty-two outstanding photographers portray Peru's natural beauty, ranging from the Amazon rainforest to the highest Andes to the starkly beautiful coast, its cultural heritage going back to the Incas and their many precursors, as well as the varying cultures throughout Peru today. Each photo is accompanied by a detailed caption providing depth of information. The book consists primarily of six chapters covering the Cusco/Machu Picchu region, the Amazon rainforest and cloud forest, Arequipa and Lake Titicaca, the Pacific coast, Chachapoyas and Cajamarca in the north, and the Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Huayhuash, the highest ranges of the Peruvian Andes. It includes 224 pages, with seven maps, a brief introduction, and an afterword on the need to conserve Peru's natural and cultural heritage.

"Writing from New York in March 1949, Robert Frank sent home to his mother in Switzerland a birthday gift of a book maquette of a series of photographs he had made during a visit to Peru. Frank made an identical book for himself and one of each of these two dummies now resides in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and National Gallery of Art, Washington." "A few of these images are well-known in Frank s oeuvre but previously the entire series had only ever been seen by a small number of people. This book presents for the first time the complete sequence of images, based on the original book Frank had conceived and realised under his direction. Peru is a work of major historical significance in both the artist s history and the history of photography."--BOOK JACKET.
