festive dresses of Tecuras Tribe in Brasil
after Heinrich Rudolf SCHINZ (Zurich 1777 - 1861)
“Festlicherzug der Tecuras”
(festive dresses of Tecuras Tribe in Brasil)
Original lithograph from the graphic kit of the work “Naturgeschichte und Abbildungen der Menschen und der Saugetiere” printed by the swiss lithographer Honegger and published in Zurich between 1830 and 1835.
Nice example printed on wove paper, with small foxing spots more accentuated at the edges, otherwise in good general condition, embellished with a bright and accurate recent watercolouring..
Beautiful representation of a group of indigenous of the tribe Tecuras from Brasil.
Very little news is known about this tribe that looks to be unknown in the references.
