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.

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.

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.

1928List1922Bahia 1928. Folded map. Fine condition. Fine. Teodoro Sampaio was an Afro-Brazilian cartographer engineer politician and historian who was very active in Brazil particularly in Bahia during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Offered here is Sampaio’s map of Bahia from 1928 which updates a map he produced in 1899 of the same region with updates of the settlement of the region including a detailed inset of the city of BBahio de Todos os Santos on the lower right corner. At the time of the map’s production Sampaio was an authority on Brazilian geography being a member of the Instituto Geográfico e Histórico da Bahia serving as president in 1922 and a member of the Instituto Histórico e Geográfico Brasileiro and the Instituto Geográfico e Histórico da Bahia and publishing several books on Brazilian geography. The period between 1899 when the first edition of this map was published and 1928 saw the development of rubber plantations in Bahia and the map provides detail on the region’s roads and population centers. We find no publicly held examples of this edition and one copy of the 1899 edition at Princeton though we do find a reference to this edition at the Brazilian National Archives. unknown

A two-volume history of the Japanese in Brazil by a one-time California resident who helped open Brazil for the Japanese. The first Japanese immigrants settled in Brazil in 1908 not coincidentally the year after the Gentleman's Agreement restricted immigration to the United States. The new arrivals mostly pursued coffee cultivation around Sao Paulo.<br/> <br/> The first volume covers the diplomatic agreements and legal framework for Japanese immigrants in Brazil. The second volume describes the various colonies established successful businesses and offers biographies of some pioneers. These volumes were published to coincide with the 2600th anniversary of Japan a milestone used to stoke the flames of nationalism in the early 1940s.

He arrived in California in the 1890s was the first Japanese to visit Peru and then led the push for agricultural colonies in Brazil negotiating the agreements to allow settlements and agricultural exports. Aoyagi was also instrumental in negotiating for Japanese government funds to buy land in Brazil for immigrant farmers.

Jan de Laet 20th-century half vellum dark grey laid-paper sides paper spine-label with the letterpress title reading up the spine light grey laid endpapers. 34 pp. An anonymous political tract in the form of a conversation between four fictional gentlemen Van Blyenberg Van Sorgdal Van Vraegwel Van Weetburgh whose names suggest happiness concern questioning and knowing respectively. It begins with a reference to the onverwachte en haestige unexpected and sudden death of the Prince of Orange meaning Willem II Prince of Orange and Count of Nassau stadtholder of the Dutch Republic from 1647 to his death from the plague on 6 November 1650 at the age of twenty-four. In 1649 Admiral Witte de With commander of the Dutch West India Companys WICs fleet fighting the Portuguese in Brazil came into dispute with the WIC and returned to the Netherlands against orders arriving in April 1650. Stadtholder Willem II and the States General supported the WIC against De With and sentenced him to death. Although events in Brazil greatly influenced the politics debated in the present pamphlet and the former governor of Brazil is a central figure in it only Alden & Landis appear to have recognised it as Brasiliana or Americana.

João VI 1799-1816 Prince Regent of Portugal against Napoleon. We have traced only one other copy at John Carter Brown Library.

The Prince Regent of Portugal had escaped to Brazil with the family in November 1807 where he signed this war declaration.

It is concluded with a formal text dated 18 December 1772 and signed by João Baptista de Araújo a senior officer of the Secretariat of State.In 1761 Marquez de Pombal prohibited the importation of enslaved people in Portugal and Portuguese India not for humanitarian reasons but because they were needed for labour in Brazil. He stimulated the trade of mostly African enslaved people for that colony and with his support two companies for slave trade were founded the Companhia Geral de Comércio do Grão-Pará e Maranhão and the Companhia Geral de Comércio de Pernambuco e Paraíba. Both companies were privileged and had a monopolistic character. Their lists of shareholders included many Portuguese noblemen and clergy.
