Machu Picchu. Guia Turistica
Cusco: Ediciones Coronado & Gil, 1950. Softcover. 4to. Very Good. Item #49297
[No date, ca. 1950]. 24 pp., with a folding map (present but detached from staples). Black-and-white pictorial wraps, stapled at the spine; lightly age-toned at edges, with a small chip to the upper corner of the rear cover. Overall very good. Illustrated throughout with black-and-white xerographic reproductions, with captions in Spanish, French, English, German, and Chinese. A cheaply produced tourist guide, likely issued around 1950, around the time of the opening of direct train service from Cusco that made the site more accessible to visitors. Prior to this, the journey required travel by foot or mule.
