A large format mounted albumen print, measuring 8 x 11 inches, titled “Tropical Scenery, Street, Chipigana,” taken by Moran during his renowned explorations in the late 19th century. The photograph features a serene view of a street lined with traditional thatched-roof dwellings, capturing the everyday life and architecture of Chipigana, a settlement in the tropics. A seated figure on one of the porches adds a human element, enhancing the depth and storytelling of the image. Moran was celebrated for his work during geological and exploration surveys, and this image is an excellent example of his ability to document both natural and cultural landscapes with remarkable clarity and composition.
