"The Brazilian Super-Dreadnought 'Minas Geraes' majestically approaches the shores of Rio de Janeiro, showcasing its impressive power and strength. This iconic moment captured in a vibrant color lithograph by Edgar L Pattison transports us back to 1914 when this formidable warship ruled the seas. Accompanied by the Benjamin Constant Training Cruiser, the 'Minas Geraes' dominates Rio Harbour with its imposing presence. A symbol of Brazil's naval might, it instills both awe and admiration among onlookers who witness this historic event. Amidst the grandeur of these naval vessels, let us not forget the beauty that lies beneath our oceans. Hydrophyllum, Galuania, Fereiria, Cardiospermum, Correia - names whispered in letters from Vandelli to remind us of the diverse marine life thriving beneath these mighty ships. Vandelli's letters echo with passion for exploration and discovery as he unravels secrets hidden within Brazil's rich biodiversity. His words serve as a reminder that while we marvel at man-made wonders like the 'Minas Geraes, ' nature holds countless treasures waiting to be explored. As we gaze upon this historical scene unfolding before our eyes through Pattison's artwork, may we appreciate not only human achievements but also embrace our responsibility to protect and preserve our natural world.
