Tossell, R. - Valparaiso (Zeno Fotografie), circa

1860 Valparaíso, Chile

Valparaíso served as Chile's leading Pacific seaport through the nineteenth century, its steep hillsides overlooking a harbor crowded with international shipping. This view, credited to photographer R. Tossell, dates from around 1860, when the city's trade-driven growth was accelerating.
