EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Daily Life in Brazil" offers a glimpse into the vibrant and bustling streets of colonial Brazil. Created by Jean Baptiste Debret and lithographed by Thierry Freres in 1839, this print captures the essence of everyday life during that era. The scene depicted showcases a street filled with various activities and characters. In the foreground, we see a man carrying a conical container of oil on his head, symbolizing one of the many tradespeople going about their daily routines. Nearby, an oil lamp is being filled, shedding light on the importance of illumination in this time period. As our eyes wander through this lively street scene, we notice individuals engaged in different occupations - traders selling sweets to passersby and workers diligently going about their tasks. The architecture reflects the colonial influence prevalent at that time. Notably, amidst all these activities stands a priest holding a Bible while receiving a kiss from someone seeking solace or guidance. This gesture highlights both religious devotion and charity within Brazilian society. The costumes worn by men, women, and children add color and diversity to this tableau vivant. It serves as a reminder of Latin America's rich cultural heritage. Overall, this lithograph provides us with an intriguing snapshot of daily life in Brazil during the 19th century – capturing its people's resilience, spirituality, commerce-driven economy, and unique charm.
