Title: El Perú Ilustrado
Description: In the mid-19th century, thanks to the invention of photography and the development of lithography, newspapers, and magazines with illustrations emerged that occupied an important place in print. The most representative example is the weekly "El Perú Ilustrado". In the book, author Emma Patricia Victorio Cánovas investigates the arguments that shaped the Peruvianity through texts and images that generated feelings of belonging and identity after the War of the Pacific (Spanish: Guerra del Pacífico), between Chile and the BolivianPeruvian alliance from 1879 to 1884. In addition, the themes guided the understanding of the message and the feeling of national pride, vindicating a great nation. Likewise, the advertising image complemented the discourse of recovery of self-esteem present in the weekly, and showed a society in full capacity to meet new needs, associated with the well-being and the idea of progress of a country that sought to know itself.
