notes:
|
Text states that this scene depicts an earlier state of commerce in Rio de Janeiro, before the government took more control. The slaves sell things on behalf of their masters.The lithographs in this book were made from drawings made by Debret during his fifteen-year residence (1816-1831) in Brazil.Image placed horizontally on page.
