British Capital, Mercury Miners, and Transfer Print Ceramics in 19th Century Peru (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Douglas K Smit.

During the late 18th century, Spanish colonies in South America increasingly liberalized their trade policies, leading to an increased access to British goods such as transfer print ceramics. In Peru, the importation of transfer print ceramics grew rapidly after independence in 1824, along with the entry of British capital into the mining sector of the Peruvian economy. This paper examines the role of transfer print ceramics at Santa Barbara, an indigenous mercury mining community located...

Drawing upon recent excavations at the indigenous mining settlement of...
