EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating moment in history - a tram being pulled by horses in the bustling port of Para, Brazil. The image, an engraving by Vignal, was created to illustrate Charles Wiener's story "Amazon and Cordilleres" published in 1883. The scene is set on the largo of Nazareth, where the tram glides along with its passengers aboard. The juxtaposition of modern transportation with traditional horse-drawn power showcases the evolving nature of society during that time period. It serves as a testament to progress and innovation. The German diplomat and geographer, Charles Wiener, provides valuable insights into this region through his writings. His work sheds light on the Amazon rainforest and mountain ranges known as Cordilleras. This particular illustration adds visual depth to his narrative. Published in Paris by Edouard Charton's Hachette edition for Tour du monde magazine, this engraving offers a glimpse into life in South America during the late 19th century. Its inclusion in such a prestigious publication speaks volumes about its significance. Photographed by Leonard de Selva, this historical artifact now resides within a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm. As we admire this image today, we are transported back to an era when trams were powered not by electricity or diesel engines but rather by majestic horses trotting through vibrant Brazilian streets.
