Engelmann, Paris 1827, 33,5x52cm, une feuille.

Original lithograph folio extracted from picturesque travel in Brazil Maurice Rugendas, engraved by Vagueren from drawings from nature by the author. Board composed of five views indians "budocuspine" wearing their rituals attributes (labrets, records lobes, jewelry ...) faces. Few tiny foxing in the bottom margin of the board. In 1821 Rugendas painter native of Augsburg in Bavaria, gets a contract designer for scientific exploration expedition organized by G. Langsdorff happens in Brazil in Rio de Janeiro in March 1822; it traverses the provinces of Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Bahia and Pernambuco that. In line with the philosophy of Herder, he seeks the truth of the country and the people in the interior away from the cosmopolitan civilization of cities. His interest in indigenous peoples to own the traveler of his time, led him to compose realistic drawings. Rugendas also draws blacks (then called "brown", "blacks", "African" or "Creole"), which makes his work a unique anthropological approach, at a time when other designers do ignore them although they represent a non-negligible portion of the Brazilian population. In 1827 began the publication of his Picturesque Travel in Brazil to Paris, in Godefroy Engelmann, Alsatian pioneer lithography.
