"A photograph made Machu Picchu famous and helped transform the place into what the author calls a 'lost city uncovered', an Andean utopia found. Since then the place has not been the same. This book is about the exercise of seeing and the role that visualization technologies played in shaping knowledge about nations, peoples and the past turned into a national heritage. Hiram Bingham and the three Yale expeditions (1911, 1912, 1914-1915) presented Machu Picchu and Peru to the world, modeling their image many centuries after the Incas did."
