Juan Antonio Pezet (1809-1879) was President of Peru during the Spanish-Peruvian (-Chilean) war over the Chincha Islands which contained vast deposits of Guano. He was forced to flee to Europe when his treaty with the Spanish was found wanting. Provenance: Francisco Pérez de Velasco, his stamp, former Peruvian Consul to New York, a dealer, who sold to Hiram Bingham an "unprecedented cache of... [very early colonial Peruvian]... documents and whose remaining collection on Peru was in "Cátalogo de la Biblioteca Peruana Propiedad de Dn. Francisco Perez de Velasco" Lima, 1918. Scarce. OCLC reports only microfiche copies, but it is part of the Yale series of Latin American pamphlets and BN Peru also has a copy.
