[Various places in Peru: 1829-1830]. Seven broadsides and bifolia, totaling [14]pp., with each sheet measuring approximately 11.5 x 7.5 inches. Previously bound, with stabholes and residue at left margin. Moderate worming, affecting some text but not sense. Minor tanning and soiling. Good. Item #5862

A group of seven highly ephemeral, and seemingly unrecorded, military broadsides and bifolia reports from Peru, dating to the country's war with Gran Colombia from 1828 to 1829 and just after. The conflict stemmed from a border dispute after independence was gained in 1820 and 1821 with the boundary left relatively undefined. The Armistice of Piura, formally agreed in September 1829, recognized Guayaquil and its surrounding area as a part of Gran Colombia and accorded Peru recognition of its modern-day northern provinces. The documents present here include an exhortation by Peruvian President Agustin Gamarra to support the prospective peace, a report on the state of the Peruvian treasury in Trujillo during the midst of the conflict, a bulletin concerning military developments in April 1829 addressed to the armed forces, a patriotic broadside printed in Arequipa, and a congratulatory address to the army printed on the day of armistice.
