EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of Lima, the capital city of Peru, during the Chilean occupation in 1881. The War of the Pacific, which began in 1879, saw Chilean forces advancing on Lima, resulting in the city's surrender on January 13, 1881. In this image, a Chilean soldier proudly holds the Chilean flag atop the Hill of San Cristobal, while two comrades lean against a cannon that has been mounted there. The Hill of San Cristobal, with its commanding view of the city, had strategic importance in the conflict, making it a significant location for the Chilean forces to establish their presence. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the military power that brought about the Chilean occupation of Lima and the subsequent impact on Peruvian history. The date of the photograph is 1881, making it an important historical document of this significant event.
