Montanus, Daily Life In Brazil, Copper Engraving, 1673

Chairish

$377

"Daily Life in Brazil" This striking copper engraving, part of Arnoldus Montanus' "Die Unbekannte Neue Welt oder Beschreibung des Welt-teils Amerika und des Sud-Landes", presents a glimpse into the daily activities in Brazil during the 17th century. It showcases indigenous people engaging in conversation and carrying goods, possibly portraying a scene of trade or communal sharing within a village. Condition Report: As an original piece from the 1673 German edition published by Jacob Meurs in Amsterdam, the print's historical value is evident. The engraving shows remarkable detail and depth, indicative of the skilled craftsmanship of the period. The condition appears to be commensurate with its age, potentially exhibiting natural paper toning, minor spots, or handling marks. The integrity of the image is preserved with no significant tears or losses, ensuring the engraving remains a vivid document of its time. Expected age-related tonality changes and marginal foxing. The paper shows signs of handling, such as soft creases and wear along left edge. Tiny corner in top left cut off. Please study the image carefully.
