THE EXTREMELY RARE SECOND SERIES OF THE VERY FINE SUITE OF COSTUME LITHOGRAPHS DRAWN BY A.A. BONNAFFÉ IN LIMA BETWEEN 1855 AND 1856.
Nothing seems to be known about this artist who is absent from Bénézit, Colas, Abbey, Sabin, and other specialized bibliographies.

The plates are captioned: La Zamacueca (1856); La Zamba (a la procesion) (1856); El Capeador (1855); Chorrillos. Traje de Bano; El Panadero (1856); La Plazera; El Arriero; La Chichera (1855); El Aguador (1855); La Lechera (1855); El Velero (1855); La Caleza (1856).
