EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Views in Rio de Janeiro, South America (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the bustling city of Rio de Janeiro. The image showcases a harmonious blend of natural beauty and architectural marvels that make this South American gem so enchanting. As we gaze upon the print, our eyes are immediately drawn to the magnificent Sugar Loaf Mountain towering over the city's skyline. Its majestic presence serves as a reminder of Rio's awe-inspiring topography and its unique position between mountains and sea. The engraving also captures the vibrant energy of Rio's harbor, where ships from all corners of the world docked during this era. The entrance to the harbor is teeming with activity, showcasing both local fishing boats and grand vessels arriving from distant lands. Intriguingly, railways can be seen snaking their way through different parts of the cityscape. This visual testament highlights how transportation played a crucial role in connecting various neighborhoods and suburbs like Botafogo. Moreover, our eyes are inevitably drawn towards Corcovado Mountain at whose summit stands Christ the Redeemer statue - an iconic symbol not only for Brazil but for all South America. This landmark adds an ethereal touch to an already breathtaking scene. With this remarkable engraving by English School from 1890, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand why Rio de Janeiro has always been considered one of Latin America's most captivating cities.
