notes:
|
Text states that the band and its escorts travel the streets during the week before Pentacost in order to stimulate charitable contributions. The monkey had just tried to pull the flag toward itself. The imperial Brazilian flag at bottom right is a simplified version of the one at left so that it could be understood from a distance. The design of the flags, which now excludes the Portuguese shield, marks the independence of Brazil.The lithographs in this book were made from drawings made by Debret during his fifteen-year residence (1816-1831) in Brazil.
