Hand-coloured night lithograph of travellers on horseback and foot with dogs approaching flat-roofed huts under a crescent moon.

Travellers in Chile arrive at a village by night. Coloured lithograph by G. Scharf after P. Schmidtmeyer.

Travellers on horseback and on foot, with dogs, approach a cluster of low, flat-roofed huts under a crescent moon. A fire glows near the left buildings, and a dark hill and distant water fill the background of this hand-coloured lithograph.

Español: Viajeros llegando de noche a una aldea

Viajeros a caballo y a pie, acompañados de perros, se acercan a un conjunto de casas bajas de techo plano bajo una luna creciente. Una fogata brilla junto a los edificios de la izquierda, y un cerro oscuro y agua distante llenan el fondo de esta litografía coloreada a mano.

Português: Viajantes chegando à noite a um povoado

Viajantes a cavalo e a pé, com cachorros, aproximam-se de um conjunto de casas baixas de telhado plano sob uma lua crescente. Uma fogueira brilha perto das construções à esquerda, e uma colina escura e água distante preenchem o fundo desta litografia colorida à mão.
