= Borba de Moraes p.754; cf. Bosch 377 (German ed.); Sabin 73935. German artist Moritz Rugendas (1802-1858) was recruited by Baron von Langsdorff, a Russian delegate to Rio de Janeiro, to accompany an expedition to Brazil. In Rio he parted ways with the expedition and travelled on by himself. His depictions of the sceneries, towns and population of Brazil have a "genuine documentary value, which are of utmost importance for the study of Brazilian life at the beginning of the 19th century" (Borba de Moraes).
