EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro in the 1930s. The talented artist, WS Barclay, skillfully captures the essence of this South American gem. Standing at a bend on Avenida Niemeyer, we are treated to an awe-inspiring view of the majestic Hill of Gavea with its bare, sheer flanks. The landscape is a harmonious blend of nature and man-made structures. Lush palm trees line the avenue, adding a touch of tropical charm to the scene. The road winds its way through this coastal paradise, leading our eyes towards the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean beyond. Gavea's monolithic presence dominates the skyline; its towering height evokes both admiration and wonder. This geographical feature serves as a reminder that nature's grandeur can coexist harmoniously with urban life. As we delve deeper into this photograph, we appreciate how it encapsulates Brazil's rich geography and diverse beauty. It showcases Rio de Janeiro as not just a bustling metropolis but also as a place where stunning landscapes meet modernity. This image was originally featured in Geographical Magazine Volume 5 - an esteemed publication by Royal Geographical Society that aimed to educate readers about different regions around the world. Now preserved by The Print Collector collection, it allows us to relish in this snapshot from history and marvel at Rio de Janeiro's timeless allure.
