The first English edition of one of the “classic” nineteenth-century travel accounts of Brazil, which was first issued in two thick quartos in Frankfurt. Prince Maximilian, in the company of the naturalists George Freyreiss and Friedrich Sellow, travelled throughout the eastern part of Brazil, from Rio de Janeiro to Bahia.

Copies of this, the first English edition, were sometimes issued with an extra portrait not called for in the list of plates - this copy has none. Abbey (Travel), 705; Sabin, 47021; Borba II, p545.
