BRAZIL - RIO DE JANEIRO
Footnotes
Rare panorama of Rio taken from the Morro do Castello, with bright fresh colours. 'Uno de los ejemplares más importantes del género en la iconografía de Rio de Janeiro' (Eliza Linhares Borges and Víctor Mínguez, La fabricación visual del mundo atlántico 1808-1940, 2010). Ronmy's oil painting was one of the first panoramas to be displayed in a rotunda in Europe, causing a great sensation in Paris. Steinmann had introduced lithography to Brazil in 1825 and Salathé engraved the views for his Souvenirs de Rio de Janeiro before the former returned to Basel in 1834 to carry on publishing his works.
