4496Each of the five mounted photographs is preceded by a protective sheet of tissue paper in tact though wrinkled. The five photographs show a group of luminaries in the following fields: "Politicians Conservative" "Politicians Liberal" "Authors and Novelists" including Charles Dickens Wilkie Collins Thomas Carlyle "Science" including Charles Wheatstone Michael Faraday "Artists" including J. M. W. Turner John Everett Millais and Edwin Landseer. The page preceding the last group photograph of English Artists indicated that a second volume was anticipated "early in 1877." The artists' page has separated from the spine as has the first copyright page which is chipped along margins creased and missing upper left corner. The pages are securely held together at the spine even though they have lost their cover. The albumen plates are somewhat light as might be expected. Various degrees of foxing throughout chipped corners of the photographic boards. Overall condition is fair to good. A fascinating assemblage of 19th century English culture. unknown books

A little-known work on the great coffee plantations of the nineteenth century in the area around Rio de Janeiro. Coffee first started to appear in the area around 1760 and by 1822 there were plantations in the area with more than fifty thousand coffee plants with massive tracts of rainforest being cleared first from the vicinity of Rio and later Sao Paulo for coffee growing. The families owning the plantations built huge homes some of them almost small castles - one of which the Parque Sao Clemente had ceilings so beautiful that special reclining chairs were installed so that they could be better admired. This book explores those fazendas both inside and out to provide a glimpse into this glittering past.
