1880108232Pernambuco: F. H. Carls 1880. Brazil following independence captured in superb photorealistic chromolithography A wonderfully preserved copy of this superb visual record of Brazil in the late 19th century. "The colourful and airy rendering contributes much to the appeal of this extensive series of images that forms one of the most comprehensive visual reports carried out on any Brazilian city in the period" Correa do Lago. The album was first issued in 1873 with 50 plates under the title Album de Pernambuco e seus arrabaldes Pernambuco and its Environs. It was later reissued with varying numbers of plates some copies having as few as 15 or 20 the composition rarely the same twice. Carls was a German graphic artist designer and photographer who joined the wave of German immigration to Brazil settling in Recife in 1859 where he established one of the first lithographic presses in Pernambuco. An enterprising and innovative printer he took on a wide range of work bringing the potential of high-quality lithographic printing to advertising material diplomas stock certificates letterheads and also maps being the publisher of José Tibúrcio Pereira Magalhães's Cidade do Recife e seus arrabaldes Recife City and its Environs in 1870. It is for the present sequence of plates that Carls is best known. They comprise an inclusive collection of impressive views of the region: the public buildings provincial assembly presidential palace the Hospital Pedro II commercial streets rua do Imperador rua 1o de Março grand private homes the mansion of Dr Augusto Frederico de Oliveira which now houses the state museum and the seat of the Portuguese merchant João José Rodrigues Mendes Barão Rodrigues Mendes now the headquarters of the Pernambuco Academy of Letters theatres churches mother churches of San Antonio and Boa Vista shipping in the harbour markets and landscapes of the outlying villages and estates all teeming with life showing the signs of the accelerating modernization of Brazil following independence "a significant iconographic series for the visual memory of the country depicting scenes of everyday life customs and landscapes" Silva p. 1567. The album was a collaboration with German-born artist Louis Adam Cornell Krauss who arrived in Recife in 1877 but it has been suggested that the plates incorporate the uncredited work of pioneering Brazilian photographers such as João Ferreira Vilela Alfredo Ducasble Guilherme Gaensly Wilhelm Gänsli and Augusto Stahl. Certainly several of the views exhibit a sharpness of detail that hints at the use of photographic templates and some bear a close resemblance to images produced by these Brazilian pioneers. For example the view of Recife from the observatory of the naval arsenal is very similar to Gaensly's framing of the same subject and the plate of the Sete de Septembro bridge bears comparison with Vilela's views. When the Pernambucan organising committee for the Berlin South American exhibition of 1866 included one of Carls's albums they did so in the belief that this would present the German public with an "an idea of the beauty of our city". Landscape quarto 300 x 420 mm. High-finish pictorial chromolithographic calendar for 1880 with Carls' imprint as title page and 36 coloured lithographic plates. Original green cloth title gilt to the front board within a broad black stylised floral panel between two single gilt ruled panels the black panel repeated on the lower board edges lightly marbled floral-pattered endpapers in sepia the title in German neatly inked in purple in a contemporary hand to the first blank small bookbinder's ticket of Wilhelm Bitz Basel to the lower fore-corner of the front pastedown dated August 1885 in the same hand. Housed in a dark green cloth flat-back box by the Chelsea Bindery. Very light shelf-wear some marginal browning to the plates occasional scatter of spotting overall very good indeed.

Édition originale de cette relation très recherchée. L'auteur, qui avait été envoyé en Amérique du sud pour espionner les installations portuaires des colonies espagnoles, donne ici des descriptions et remarques intéressantes sur les peuples, la faune, la flore et la minéralogie du Brésil du Chili et du Pérou. Il effectue plusieurs relevés qui aboutissent à la première cartographie précise de l'Amérique méridionale ; il lève notamment les cartes de la Baie de tous les Saints (pl. XXXIII) et de l'île Sainte-Catherine (pl. III) au Brésil. Parmi les planches qui illustrent l'ouvrage se trouve celle qui représente le fraisier du Chili, en grandeur naturelle. Ce fraisier "différend du nôtre par les feuilles plus arrondies, plus charnues et fort velues", porte des fruits "gros comme une noix, & quelques fois comme un oeuf de poule ; ils sont d'un rouge blanchâtre & un peu moins délicat au goût que nos fraises des bois" (p. 70, pl. XI) : Frézier, au nom si prédestiné, ramena quelques pieds de cette espèce en France et les donna à Jussieu pour le Jardin Royal. Elle est à l'origine de toutes les espèces de fraises modernes. Amédée François Frézier (1682-1773), fils d'un gentilhomme écossais réfugié en France, servit dans l'infanterie, sous les ordres du duc de Charost, puis entra dans le corps du génie comme ingénieur en 1707 ; il contribua notamment à l'amélioration des fortifications de Saint-Malo. Il est connu tant pour ses talents de cartographe que pour ses connaissances en pyrotechnie; il est en effet l'auteur de l'un des meilleurs traités sur les fusées et sur les feux d'artifice de son temps (Traité des feux d'artifice. Paris, Chez Daniel Jollet, 1706). Il a également publié un ouvrage sur la taille de la pierre et du bois. Exemplaire qui présente un amusant petit défaut d'impression : le cuivre de la lettrine "M" de la page de dédicace a été placé de travers. Bel exemplaire. Reliure restaurée. Mouillure très pâle sur un feuillet, infimes rousseurs et rares petites taches. Bel état intérieur. Borda de Moraes I, p. 281. Chadenat n° 71. Leclerc, n° 587

1890363568Rio de Janeiro Brazil: Photographia do Commercio 1890. A group of six carte-de-visite format albumen prints likely dating from the 1890s. The subjects are all Afro-Brazilians posed standing with their right arm resting on a piece of furniture a table a chair a pedestal. Five of the six images have printed backs identifying them as originating from Photographia do Commercio Rua da Carioca no. 40 Rio de Janeiro. These printed backs are in two styles both similar but one is smaller than the other. The sixth image has no identifying information but the distinctive pattern of the cloth on the table visible in the image places it in the same photo studio.<br /> <br /> Wilhelm Gaensby 1843–1928 emigrated to Brazil from Switzerland with his parents when he was five in 1848. He learned photography from Alberto Henschel and opened his own studio in Salvador in 1875. About 1893 he moved to Rio de Janeiro keeping his original studio in operation. A number of albums of Gaensby's landscape and scenic photographs survive but little has been written about his studio work. Perhaps the best survey of his career can be found in the chapter devoted to him in Os Fotógrafos do Império Editora Capivara 2005; translated from Brésil: Les premiers photographes d'un empire sous les Tropiques; Gallimard 2005. Generally very good or better. Medium contrast images tending towards sepia tones. Photographia do Commercio unknown

The specimens were collected by Georg Wilhelm Freyreiss in his travels to Minas Gerais Brazil in 1814-15. Only eight species out of the thirty described by Thunberg in these booklets had been studied until recently Moraes Smedt and Hjertson. Most of the specimens can still be found today at Uppsala University.</p><p>Although the dissertations are separately signed by Billberg Ahlberg and Holm Reyment notes that the work in each case was Thunberg's since it was customary for the professor to write the thesis which his students would then defend in public. Each dissertation is in the form of a scientific description of 10 different species of which several appear to be named and described for the first time: for example Billberg's thesis notes two <em>Lobelia</em> one <em>Begonia</em> and one <em>Euphorbia</em>; Ahlberg'sseveral orchids <em>Epidendrum Cymbidium</em> sp. nightshades <em>Solanum</em> sp. and a type of wild basil <em>Ocymum</em>; and Holm's a species of bromeliad <em>Billbergia speciosa</em>. Two of the theses are illustrated with detailed depictions of the specimens involved on large folding engravings.</p><p>Carl Peter Thunberg 1743-1828 rector of the University of Uppsala earned the epithets "father of South African botany" and "the Japanese Linnaeus." Of the disciples whom Linnaeus sent off on far-flung collecting journeys Thunberg traveled the furthest reaching South Africa Indonesia Japan where in order to be admitted he had to pass himself off as a Dutch Protestant merchant and Sri Lanka. Thunberg is cited in naming some 254 species of plants and animals though significantly more plants than animals and authoring more than 160 monographs and scientific papers.</p><p>OCLC: 3 parts together at NYPL U.

Bibliographia Brasiliana. V1. p93. Chadenat 754. not Sabin. ~ First edition of a French biography of the Jesuit martyr Ignacio de Azevedo by Father Gilles-Fran‡ois Beauvais 1695-1773 who modeled his book on the Italian biography by Father Cabral pseudonym of Giulio Cesare Cordara 1704-1785 published at Rome in 1743 under the title "Relazione Della Vita E Martirio Del Venerable Padre Ignazio de Azevedo". In the present biography dedicated to King Stanislaus I of Poland Beauvais made several additions for example the "Martyre du V‚n‚rable PŠre Diaz et de ses Compagnons" pp193-262. Most of the book is devoted to the life of the martyr Ignatius de Azevedo from Porto 1528-1570 who worked in Brazil as Visitator for the Jesuit Order. On 15 July 1570 he and his 39 companions while at sea were killed by French Calvinist pirates near the Canary Islands. In 1854 these "40 martyrs of Brazil" were canonized. Beauvais's biography may be regarded as a loose translation with additional material of Cordara's biography which was translated into Spanish in the same year and into German in 1856. A second edition of Beauvais's version was published at Brussels in 1854. The martyrdom of Ignacio de Azevedo and his companions has inspired many literary works up to the present day. Paris.
