About the Item
Antique Print - Plaza de Mayo, Buenos Aires, 1820s - Jules Ferrario
This historically rich print, titled "Plaza de Mayo, Buenos Aires," originates from Jules Ferrario's renowned series "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne," specifically from Volume II, plate 2.
The print offers a captivating depiction of the Plaza de Mayo, one of the most significant public squares in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It beautifully captures the essence of the plaza during the early 19th century, featuring local inhabitants engaged in daily activities, architectural landmarks, and a dynamic urban atmosphere.
The intricate detailing and careful hand coloring enhance the visual impact, providing a window into the architectural and social fabric of Buenos Aires during this period.
This piece is invaluable for collectors interested in South American history, urban landscapes, and antique lithography. It not only serves as a decorative artwork but also as an important document that highlights the urban development and cultural milieu of Buenos Aires in the early 1800s.
