Capitao do matto
Dess d'ap nat. par Rugendas Lith. par Zwinger
Lith. de Engelmann, rue du Faub Montmartre No.6 a Paris [1827-35]
Lithograph, printed area 405 x 280mm (16 x 11").
A 'capitão do mato', an employee of a factory or plantation charged with recovering runaway slaves. Plate from 'Voyage pittoresque au Brésil' (1827-35), a volume of lithographs after drawings by Johann Moritz Rugendas (1802-58). Rugendas, who came from a family including several notable artists, travelled to Brazil in 1821 as draughtsman with the Russian diplomat Baron de Langsdorff’s scientific expedition. However, Rugendas left the expedition, discovering Brazil for himself and returning to Europe in 1825 with the extraordinary collection of drawings which provided the material for 'Voyage pittoresque'. Encouraged by the German scientist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt, Rugendas returned to Latin America in 1831, living until 1845 in Mexico and Chile with shorter stays in Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, and Uruguay, and drawing and painting prolifically throughout this time. He returned to Bavaria, where nearly 3000 drawings and paintings were acquired by the local government, but he then went back to live in Brazil between 1845 and 1846.

Encouraged by the German scientist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt, Rugendas returned to Latin America in 1831, living until 1845 in Mexico and Chile with shorter stays in Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, and Uruguay, and drawing and painting prolifically throughout this time. He returned to Bavaria, where nearly 3000 drawings and paintings were acquired by the local government, but he then went back to live in Brazil between 1845 and 1846. This particular plate is of added interest owing to the involvement of the landscape painter Richard Parkes Bonington (1802-28) as a draughtsman. Bonington lived in Paris for part of his short career, sharing a studio with Delacroix, and despite his death from tuberculosis at the age of 25, his work has consistently been held in high esteem.

A military parade in the district of São Cristóvão in the north of Rio de Janeiro. Plate from 'Voyage pittoresque au Brésil' (1827-35), a volume of lithographs after drawings by Johann Moritz Rugendas (1802-58). Rugendas, who came from a family including several notable artists, travelled to Brazil in 1821 as draughtsman with the Russian diplomat Baron de Langsdorff's scientific expedition. However, Rugendas left the expedition, discovering Brazil for himself and returning to Europe in 1825 with the extraordinary collection of drawings which provided the material for 'Voyage pittoresque'. Encouraged by the German scientist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt, Rugendas returned to Latin America in 1831, living until 1845 in Mexico and Chile with shorter stays in Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, and Uruguay, and drawing and painting prolifically throughout this time. He returned to Bavaria, where nearly 3000 drawings and paintings were acquired by the local government, but he then went back to live in Brazil between 1845 and 1846.

Breakfasting &c.
Hogarth Delin.t R.d Livesay Fecit
Publish'd Nov.r 27 1781 by R.d Livesay at Mrs Hogarths Leicester Fields.
Aquatint and etching, platemark 250 x 345mm (9¾ x 13½"). Small margins. Bit time stained.
In 1732 William Hogarth, with a group of friends including the artist Samuel Scott and lawyer and writer Ebenezer Forrest, undertook a five-day tour of the Thames and Medway estuaries. Forrest wrote an account of the trip and Hogarth and others made drawings to illustrate it (these are now in the British Museum). In 1781, after Hogarth's death, Richard Livesay engraved the plates and published them, together with Forrest's account, as 'Account of what seemed most remarkable in the five days' peregrination of … Tothall, Scott, Hogarth, Thornhill, and F.' (1782). The figures in this scene are all identified by a key- Hogarth, as in his well-known picture 'The Calais Gate', is crouched on the left, 'drawing this drawing'.
