- n.p. [São Paulo]: [Edições Cultura], n.d. [193-?]
Introductory essay, "A Atualidade de Rugendas" prefacing 12 plates selected by by Murilo Mendes, all of them lithographic reproductions from the monumental work, Voyage pittoresque dans le Brésil, by the Bavarian artist Johann Moritz Rugendas, published between 1827 and 1835 by Godefroy Englemann of Paris. The lithographs by V. Adam, Zwinger, Villeneuve, Joly, Maurin, and others, after Rugendas, comprise one of the most important documents on the society, customs, dress, landscapes, and native peoples of 19th-century Brazil. The item shows how Brazilian Modernists such as Mendes (a forerunners of the Surrealist movement in Latin America) revived the legacy of Rugendas among avant-garde circles of their day. An important work, and very scarce. Images include:
