EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Rio de Janeiro in 1858, offering a glimpse into the architectural wonders of the time. The image showcases two prominent landmarks: the ancient palace of the Emperor of Brazil from the 18th century and the former Metropolitan Cathedral, also dating back to that era. In this scene, we witness an intriguing moment as the crew of the French frigate "Alcmene" descends onto land to attend mass. Their presence adds a touch of international flair to this bustling street scene. The drawing by Thorigny beautifully captures this historic event, which was later transformed into an engraving by H. Linton for publication in "The Illustrous World". As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to be captivated by both the grandeur of these architectural marvels and the vibrant energy emanating from the crowd gathered on that day. This engraving serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical documentation. Stefano Bianchetti's private collection now houses this remarkable piece, allowing us all to appreciate its beauty and significance today. It reminds us of Rio de Janeiro's rich history and cultural heritage while transporting us back over a century ago when life unfolded at a different pace within these magnificent structures.
