notes:
Text explains that the masks depict a tiger [jaguar?], a tapir, an anteater, a human, a fish, and a monkey. The last masks represent humans. The musical instrument played by the woman is the shell of a tortoise that she hits with a stick. Debret drew these masks in a museum in Rio de Janeiro where they were attributed to the natives of the state of Pará, 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).
