notes:
|
Debret drew the chief's clothing from a set that the chief had given to the governor of the province with whom he had made an alliance. The governor had donated it to a museum in Rio de Janeiro. Coroados is a term that the Portuguese applied to members of a number of linguistic groups that wore elaborate crown-like headdresses. Coroados now also refers to part of the state of São Paulo, Brazil.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).
