Escravos Brasileiros. (Brazilian Slaves). Do Seculo Xix Na Fotographia de Christiano Jr.

Ex Libris. Sa Paulo 1988 1st edition. 0.6kg. Black cloth boards,. xxxvi + 77 full-page plates. A near Fine copy in VG+ dustwrapper (a little rubbed but no chips, tears, or loss). An excellent copy ISBN: 9788571090033 Images of African slaves by the photographer Christiano Junior from 19thC Brazil. "Published for the centenary of abolition, this collection of 77 lucid carte-de-visite images of Carioca bondsmen between 1864 and 1866 offers stunning visual information about the face of urban slavery in Brazil. The exquisite photographs are the most detailed images of slave men and women, taken from five separate collections in Brazil. .... The captionless cartes overflow with visual data. Young black women stand elegantly before the lens in handsome dress, at ease, posed in the same manner as members of the upper class. A teenage girl wears a headcover that evokes Islamic Africa. Fruit sellers carry trays laden with wares and infants strapped tightly to their backs. Women’s and men’s faces carry tribal sears, presumably applied before the slaves were transported to the New World". (Duke University Press review).
