Santiago- Vista de Cerro San Cristobal

Postcard showing a view of San Cristobal Hill and the city of Santiago, Chile from Santa Lucia Hill. Charles C. Myers notes the view of the Andes Mountains.

Comments and Context

In Charles C. Myers’s own words, “To the east, to the north and to the west are to be seen the towering peaks of the Andes Mts. many of which are clothed in snow the greater part of the year, which adds to the beauty of mountain scenery. many lovers of nature climb this hill day after day to see the beautiful sunsets which are never twice the same from this excellent place of observation. There seems to be no foothills to the Andes Mts as they rise abruptly from the plains, making the picture as seen from San Lucia Hill the more perfect and satisfying and such as can no pen or brush justly describe”

Cerro de los Almacenes

Postcard showing a mountain with three horse riders in the foreground. Charles C. Myers notes that this is in the Andes Mountains.

Comments and Context

In Charles C. Myers’s own words, “Here is a view of the mountains along the straits at closer range and also at considerable height and it is here near the top of the mountains where there is perpetual snow and from here start the great rivers of ice thar (sic) are continually flowing down the mountain side. On March 6, we steamed out of the narrow straits and out into the Pacific Ocean. At this place the sea is always very rough and many persons experience a day or two of sea-sickness that they do not care to repeat. Going now toward the equator the weather is gradually getting warmer and on March 8th we laid away our overcoats but still wore our heavy clothing while visiting Chile although it was a little warm for it but hardly warm enough to appear in our thin summer clothing.”
