EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Rio Exchange, a Public Trapiche, a Grass Wagon and the Gallows" an illustration from James Henderson's renowned book "A History of Brazil". Published in London in 1821, this lithograph provides a glimpse into the bustling city of Rio de Janeiro during that era. In the foreground, we see a grass wagon being pulled by laborers through what appears to be an agricultural setting. The workers are depicted as strong and determined individuals who play a crucial role in the region's agrarian economy. Behind them stands the imposing structure of the Rio Exchange, once a vibrant indoor market but now known as Casa Franca-Brazil. Adding intrigue to this scene is the presence of gallows on one side. This serves as a stark reminder of justice prevailing over crime during those times. The neoclassical architecture surrounding these elements further emphasizes both South American culture and European influence within Brazil. Overall, this photograph offers us not only historical insight but also artistic beauty. It captures an important moment in Brazilian history while showcasing skilled craftsmanship through its intricate details. As we observe this image from our private collection today, it evokes curiosity about life in early 19th-century Rio de Janeiro and invites us to explore further into its rich cultural heritage.
