Revista da exposição anthropologica brazileira;

1882 · Rio de Janeiro, Typ. de Pinheiro & Co. · 17 pictures

A Portuguese-language anthropological review published in Rio de Janeiro in 1882, issued by Pinheiro & Co. to document the Brazilian anthropological exhibition for a scholarly audience. Its engravings show Indigenous peoples of Brazil: a riverside village scene with canoes, a man wearing a feathered headdress and shell necklace holding a staff, an archer drawing a bow at the water's edge, and a standing figure labelled as an Indian of the Alto-Amazonas. The plates offer a designer clean black-line hatching, crisp cross-hatched shading and strong profile poses useful for period ethnographic treatments.
