Miscellaneous Llama Objects

Illustration from London Illustrated News
dated July 10, 1858.

The story is titled:
“Flock of llamas, just imported from Peru”.

This hand-coloured engraving
of a llama was published in 1834.

I imagine that he would be
happy to see this llama
hatching from an egg.

A copper plate
from Peru.

This is another
llama carved
from soapstone,
a little larger than
the one above

This copper engraving print was published in
The Gentlemen’s Magazine circa 1775 and includes
“Lima Ladies, Spaniards, Vicuna, Llama, Huanaco”.

These days huanaco is spelled guanaco.

This hand-coloured
copperplate print
of a llama,
dated May 11, 1799
is from the
Naturalist’s
Pocket
Magazine.

This is an actual llama fetus from Peru.

Llama fetuses are used as a type of payment to Mother Earth
and are put in the lower part of a new house or buried against the foundation
to bring good fortune to the occupants.

This is an old
“magic lantern” slide
showing a man
with a young llama
in front of a mansion in Peru.

It is not a stereo slide.
