notes:
|
Camacan Mongoyo refers to the region where this native American was a chief. Camaca refers to part of the state of Bahía near the Ilheus, Contas, and Pardo Rivers. Mongoyo refers to the lower Pardo River between Minas Gerais and Bahía. Debret says that the tribe was driven deep into the forest by the Portuguese.The lithographs in this book were made from drawings made by Debret during his fifteen-year residence (1816-1831) in Brazil.Lithographer is probably Charles Etienne Pierre Motte (French printmaker and draftsman, 1785-1836).
