EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Young Climbing-palm at a country house near Rio Janeiro; The Climbing Palm-tree, (Desmoncus)', dates back to the 1870s. The image is taken from 'Illustrated Travels' by Henry Walter Bates, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London during the late 19th century. The photograph presents an idyllic scene of a young girl and boy playing amongst the lush greenery of a country house exterior in Brazil. The focus of the image is the towering climbing palm tree, scientifically known as Desmoncus, which reaches up towards the clear blue sky. The tree's large, fan-shaped leaves cascade down its trunk, creating a striking contrast against the white walls of the house. The children, dressed in Victorian clothing, appear to be in awe of the tree, with the girl reaching up towards one of its branches. The image exudes a sense of wonder and exploration, as if to suggest the excitement of discovering new and exotic places. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of those who lived in Brazil during the 19th century. The stately home, with its arched windows and grandeur, is a testament to the wealth and status of its inhabitants. The image also highlights the natural beauty of Brazil, with its lush vegetation and tropical climate. Despite the photograph's age, it remains a captivating and evocative image, transporting us back in time to a simpler era. The unknown photographer's skill in capturing the essence of the scene is a testament to their artistic ability, making this photograph a valuable addition to any collection of historical images.
