notes:
Text describes the type of person who would have been buried in each type of coffin. Number 8 is the body of a slave buried in the mat that served as his or her bed during life. Number 9 is the body of a slave owned by someone too poor to provide anything more than banana leaves as a "coffin." The members of the Confraternity of Notre Dame de la Conception were mulattos.The lithographs in this book were made from drawings made by Debret during his fifteen-year residence (1816-1831) in Brazil.
