notes:
|
The Paraíba or Paraíba do Sul River rises in the Brazilian state of São Paulo as the Paraitinga River. It flows southwesterly continuing through the states of Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais. This plate places the capture of native American women and children by mixed race adventurers shown in plate 20 into a larger landscape. Soldiers would find a village, kill the native men, and take the women and children prisoner. It is widely known that men called Bandeirantes, adventurers mostly of mixed Portuguese and native blood from São Paulo, followed the rivers to find natives to kidnap and enslave.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).Image placed horizontally on page.
