Arequipa, 1834. [4] folios.
The woodcut of the bird was made from a piece of wood found in an excavation at Cuzco. President Luis José Obregoso gave the order of printing a copy of the figure carved in wood. It was done at the government printing press managed by Benavides at Arequipa on Sept. 22, 1834. President Obregoso gave the copy as a present to Juan Gualberto Valdivia, a Peruvian priest and historian.
The woodcut of a genealogical tree of an unknown family, also found carved in a piece of wood, was given to Valdivia by Obregoso.
