21. Portrait of Jose Monroy in 1878

Description:
Along with his brother Angel, and fellow Cuencano, Jose Monroy, Cobos established Cobos y Hermanos, which by 1863 became one of the most prosperous businesses on the Sana Elena Peninsula. Baptismal records for a son and daughter suggest that Cobos had been previously married to Monroy's sister; otherwise, nothing is known.

22. Triple Effect Vacuum Evaporator, Hacienda El Progreso

Description:
This photograph was taken by Capt. Rollo Beck in 1905. It is of a triple effect vacuum evaporator manufactured by McOnie Harvey & Co., Ltd., Glasgow. Sugar was concentrated by passing cane liquor through three vessels, each with an increasingly higher vacuum and lower temperature in order to achieve evaporation. Not only did the evaporator reduce the amount of required fuel through steam re-circulation and evaporation at lower temperatures, but it also protected the sugar product from destruction at higher temperatures.

23. Manuel J. Cobos' Hacienda House, Hacienda El Progreso in 2012

Description:
The house site in 2012 consisted of a large stone base foundation supporting ornamented plastered concrete walls on its southern and eastern exposures, the latter having suffered partial collapse early in 2015. The massive, up to17 m long, rough stone foundation leveled the eastern slope of the knoll and may have supported the original house.

24. Soil Profile of Deep Latrine Cut, 2015

Description:
In partnership with GAIAS, the project constructed two permanent cabañas on property owned by USFQ north of the road below El Junco. Geologist Madelyn Percy (UNC) inspected the soil profile exposed in deep latrine excavations. The depth of soil formation in the humid highlands lies in stark contrast to most of the Galápagos island landscapes.

30. Bakelite Cinco Centavo Token Issued by Hacienda El Progreso

Description:
Bakelite/vulcanite tokens are extremely rare in Ecuador, but were a global phenomenon in the latter half of the 19th century. Five tokens were recovered, all hard vulcanized rubber (commonly called ebonite or vulcanite), with two examples of orange 20 centavo tokens, and three black five centavo tokens. The latter are all marked “ANACARSIS MEDINA/ CHANDUY and were the main form of coinage circulating on the hacienda during Cobos’ tenure. We know little of Anacarsis Medina, but assume he may have been an old business contact of Cobos’.
