Ritual Dance in Brazil in the 17th Century on a Copper Engraving by Montanus

About the Item

Title: "Ritual Dance in Brazil" Description: This original copper engraving from Arnoldus Montanus' "Die Unbekannte Neue Welt oder Beschreibung des Welt-teils Amerika und des Sud-Landes" depicts a ritual dance scene in Brazil. The engraving is filled with movement and energy, showing individuals dressed in elaborate attire, surrounded by lush vegetation, engaging in what appears to be a ceremonial dance or celebration. Condition Report: The piece, as a part of the 1673 German edition published by Jacob Meurs in Amsterdam, appears to be well-preserved for its age. It retains clear detail and depth, with the figures and surroundings finely delineated. There are signs of age-related wear, such as slight paper toning, and light foxing, or the presence of minor creases or edge wear. However, these elements do not detract significantly from the overall visual impact of the artwork. The text and imagery remain legible and intact, making this engraving a valuable historical record and a collectible item.
