Title: A Brazilian Cotton Farmer: An Epochal Scene of Rural Life in Nineteenth-Century Brazil This handcolored lithograph, titled "A Brazilian Cotton Farmer," is an exquisite ethnographic artifact from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published in Meissen, Germany, around 1835-1840. The image offers a vivid and authentic portrayal of a Brazilian farmer, skillfully riding his horse through the countryside, laden with bales of cotton.

He is armed with both a musket and a saber, signifying his readiness to protect himself and his livelihood from potential threats. The horse, a sturdy and powerful animal, carries the heavy bales with ease, demonstrating the symbiotic relationship between man and beast in rural life.

The intricate handcoloring adds depth and texture to the image, making it a visually stunning and historically valuable piece. The lithograph is a precious resource for scholars, anthropologists, and historians, providing insights into the social, economic, and cultural fabric of Brazil during the 19th century. In conclusion, this image of a Brazilian cotton farmer riding his horse through the countryside, laden with bales of cotton, is an essential addition to any collection of ethnographic and historical art.
