Volume 1

Manuscripts include travel accounts of Francis Magnin about social life and customs of Bolivia and Peru with many hand drawn, pen-and-ink sketches. Several quotes from famous literature are interspersed throughout. Handwritten title translates to "Peru, China and Japan: Intimate Memories." However, there is no indication in these two volumes about visiting China or Japan. Most of the events in the first volume take place in Bolivia, and the second volume in Lima, Peru.
