EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of Cattete Palace, the official residence of the President of Brazil in 1914. The artist, Edgar L Pattison, skillfully portrays this urban mansion located in Rio de Janeiro's Catete neighborhood. Constructed between 1858 and 1867, it served as Brazils presidential palace from 1894 to 1960. The image showcases the architectural beauty of Cattete Palace with its impressive facade and wide avenue leading up to it. The building exterior exudes elegance and power, reflecting the importance of its role as a symbol of Brazilian governance during that time. The photograph is part of a book titled "The Beautiful Rio De Janeiro" by Alured Gray Bell, published in London in 1914. It offers readers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage associated with this iconic landmark. Cattete Palace holds significant historical significance as it was also where Getulio Vargas tragically took his own life. This event adds an air of mystery and intrigue to an already remarkable structure. Through this print, we are transported back to early twentieth-century Brazil, marveling at both the artistic talent behind capturing such a stunning scene and contemplating the political events that unfolded within these walls.
