[Ice cream maker]

Mestizo character who wears blue pants, white shirt and vest, and black shoes. On his head he wears a hat, a wooden bucket with a lid and a handle. In his left hand he holds the bucket and in his right he has an ice pick.
The ice cream man appeared in the summer season, carrying a wooden bucket inside which another metal one was found. In the latter he deposited the ice cream, which he offered in the streets. The itinerant trade was exercised mainly by indigenous people, who obtained the ice from the Cordillera - approximately 140 km from the city of Lima, brought with donkey trains, work that took between 18 to 20 hours. Inscription: "Ice cream maker Oder Cis = fresh und Verkaufer".
It belongs to the album "1871 Praetoria" which contains 39 sheets of which 25 are watercolors and the 14 are illuminated lithographs. These images are an example of the nineteenth-century production of pictorial costumbrismo in Peru, a repertoire of typical characters -in this case from the city of Lima-, composed without much context, and rather characterized by their work and clothing.
