TRAVELS IN SOUTH AMERICA DURING THE YEARS 1819-20-21, Containing an Account of the Present State of Brazil, Buenos Ayres, and Chile. Volume one only

Marvelous early geological Map of South America. Nice printed illustrations.

Classic of the Travel Books

Focus but fair condition.

Caldcleugh came to Brazil as private secretary to the British Ambassador, Edward Thornton. From October, 1819, until 1821 he lived in Rio, and from there travelled to Argentina and Chile. His return journey again took him through Brazil, and this time he visited Minas Geraes which he describes on pp. 178-288 of the second volume. Caldcleugh's work has great documentary value. An excellent and impartial observer, he describes Rio de Janeiro with great accuracy, and studies the social, agricultural, financial, and political situations in Brazil. The part referring to the mines in Minas Geraes is of great interest. The first volume contains two very beautiful views of Rio de Janeiro." Many descriptions of villages and towns, mining, nature and life in the southern cone in the early 19th century.

Dans la decription de l'objet le vendeur n'a pas signaler que les deux mains sont fracturées à hauteur des poignets et nécessitent une interventions de restauration. Dommage!

Of the two proposed prints in the lot, I only received the main one. It is much more yellowed and stained than it appears in the posted photos.

Mi dispiace ma ho qualche dubbio circa la buona fede del venditore nel non essersi accorto di una sostituzione evidente. Certo che ha anche responsabilità l'esperto di Catawiki. Cmq bello l'oggetto.
