Abstract

In the 19th century, many traveling artists illustrated narratives of their explorations in the New World, shaping a large comparative inventory of differences. Linking text and image in Jean Baptiste Debret and Johann Moritz Rugendas’ Picturesque Voyages to Brazil, this article seeks to understand the visuality created by them, especially concerning the enslaved people. Their albums define ways to describe the landscape and its inhabitants, delimiting spaces in the expected young country civilizing march.
