Abstract

Guatemalan photographs of buildings ruined by earthquakes. Some photographs are attributed to Edward James Kildare (1849-1901). These photographs are primarily of the region in south central Guatemala affected by the earthquakes that occurred in 1773-74 in Antigua, formerly the capital city during the Spanish occupation of Guatemala, also a few of the Quetzaltenango region after the 1902 earthquake made by possibly his partner photographer, Alberto Valdeavellano.
