3-MEX-ANP Augustin Peraire et l’exécution de l’Empereur Maximilien 1867 : 3-MEX-ANP Agustin Peraire Mexico 1867
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 in this article 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.
