notes:
|
Imbire may be a kind of Cecropia. Cipò Imbé is a type of philodendron, probably Philodendron sp. Araceae. The scientific names for cotton are Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense.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).
