notes: 
Text notes that the Guaraní were in the seventeenth century converted by the Spanish Jesuits and gathered into reductions. Those who in the nineteenth century owned their own land affected Spanish habits and were excellent musicians.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).
