notes:
[top] The child of the mulatto woman has a slave assigned to her. The other slaves carry the pet bird, the mistress' bedding, her clothes, and a supply of coffee. [bottom] St. Alexis was the patron saint of students. Here the boys compete for the annual penmanship prize, demanding that the adults approve or disapprove their efforts. The girls don't enter the streets for their competition, and the prize is often given to one from the richest family.The lithographs in this book were made from drawings made by Debret during his fifteen-year residence (1816-1831) in Brazil.
