EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Residence of Senator General Pinheiro Machado, taken in 1914. Nestled on a picturesque hillside in Rio de Janeiro's Laranjeiras neighborhood, the Palacete do Morro da Graca exudes timeless elegance and architectural grandeur. The image captures the essence of early 20th-century Brazil, with its vibrant colors and luxurious surroundings. The residence served as a symbol of opulence and power for Senator General Pinheiro Machado, who tragically met his untimely demise just one year after this photograph was taken. On September 8,1915, he was assassinated by a stab in the back at precisely 4:30 pm. This haunting event adds an air of mystery to this already captivating image. The low angle view highlights the impressive facade and intricate details of this stately home from the late 19th century. As we gaze upon it through the lens of history, we are transported to another era where literature and art flourished alongside political influence. This print is part of "The Beautiful Rio De Janeiro" collection by Alured Gray Bell, published by William Heinemann in London in 1914. It serves as a testament to both Brazilian geography and culture during that time period. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by The Print Collector29 (not affiliated with any company), let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance within Brazil's rich heritage.
