Juan Kaiser (Swiss, 1858-1916). "Mexico: El Tacotin, Sierra Madre (Dgo.)" and "Mexico: Vista de Toluca y 'El Nevado'" - Edicion Juan Kaiser, Guadalajara, Mexico, ca. 1900. Each print is stamped with Juan Kaiser's monogram from negative. A lovely pair of photographic images of watercolors by Swiss-born artist Juan Kaiser, each one depicting a picturesque vista of a natural landmark in Mexico - Toluca and El Nevado as well as El Tacotin, Sierra Madre. Both are set in gold-tone frames behind glass. The locale presented in each print is identified in Spanish in gold below, and on the lower left hand corner "Edicion - Juan Kasier - Guadalajara" is written in gold. Stamped on each of the lower left hand corners is an emblem and number from the series (4 and 7), and on the lower right hand corner are encircled initials - "JK" for Juan Kaiser. Size of El Tacotin print: 5.5" L x 9.125" W (14 cm x 23.2 cm) Size of frame: 13.5" L x 16.5" W (34.3 cm x 41.9 cm)
Born in Leuzigen, Switzerland in 1858, Juan Kaiser left home seeking opportunity in the Americas at the age of 23. After spending time in Peru and other South and Central American countries, Kaiser settled in Mexico in 1886. The following year, after working in Mexico City at La Helvetia, Kaiser moved to San Luis Potosi where he purchased a bookstore called Al Libro Mayor. He later expanded the business to Guadalajara with another store called "Al Libro de Caja" and also founded a business publishing illustrated postcards.

#164840Prints have not been examined outside their frames but appear to be in very good condition save some fading around the peripheries. Gold emblem at lower left of Vista de Toluca print has worn away, but the number 7 is still visible. Otherwise, the gold markings (encircled initials, emblems, and numbers) are still visible. The prints are set upon dark grey heavy gauge paper that is printed with the titles at the lower center and "Edicion - Juan Kasier - Guadalajara" on the lower left corner. While the prints appear to be intact, there are slight losses to the peripheries of the grey sheets to which they are mounted. The frames show expected nicks and scuffs, but the glass is intact and the frames are fitted with either wire or hardware to display.Condition
