1. Title: "A Brazilian Planter's Residence on the Riverbank: A Glimpse into the Past through a Handcolored Lithograph" This handcolored lithograph, titled "Brazilian Planter's House with Palm Trees on a Riverbank," is an exquisite piece from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published between 1835 and 1840. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the history, ethnography, anthropology, and customs of Brazil during that era. The lithograph depicts a grand Brazilian planter's house nestled on the lush riverbank, surrounded by the verdant foliage of palm trees. The architectural style of the house reflects the harmonious blend of European and native influences, with its red-tiled roof, whitewashed walls, and intricate woodwork. The planter's residence, a symbol of prosperity and wealth, stands proudly amidst the natural beauty of the riverbank, emphasizing the connection between the people and their environment. The palm trees, a common feature of the tropical landscape, add a sense of exoticism and allure. Their tall, slender trunks and graceful fronds create a striking contrast against the clear, tranquil waters of the river. The reflection of the house and the trees in the water further enhances the visual appeal of the scene. This lithograph is an invaluable resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the people, customs, and costumes of Brazil during the 19th century. It provides a unique perspective into the lives of the planters and their communities, offering insights into their daily routines, social structures, and cultural practices. The intricate details and vivid colors of the handcoloring add depth and authenticity to the image, making it a captivating and evocative piece of historical art.
