Album de Pernambuco e seus Arrabaldes
F.H. Carls, 1878
CARLS, Francisco Henrique (fl.1870s). Album de Pernambuco e seus Arrabaldes. Pernambuco: F.H. Carls, [1878].

Rare collection of chromolithographic views of Recife, and the state of Pernambuco. With original pictorial wrapper[?] bound as title-page and lithographed prospectus, dated August 1878. This is an impressive and lovely array of views of the Brazilian state of Pernambuco, and particularly its capital city, Recife. The German lithographer Franz Heinrich Carls immigrated to Brazil in 1858 and eventually set up a lithographic printing house in Recife in 1861. It is thought that this album was first issued in 1873 with fifty plates, however the prospectus present here asserts that the first issue had only thirty plates. In part, in translation: “I undertook this work several years ago, publishing 30 views, but the lack of skilled collaborators and the lack of time forced me to abandon it. Today, in light of the many improvements which have beautified our City, and aided by a highly skilled collaborator, I am honored to present these 10 views produced in chromolithograph … the complete series will have between 40 and 50 views.” Copies with 50 views are known, and some include a chromolithographed calendar for the year 1880; however, copies are very idiosyncratic and few, if any, contain the same complement of plates. In his prospectus, Carls details the price per plate for both subscribers and non-subscribers, and a distribution and payment schedule. The skilled collaborator to whom Carls referred was Luiz Adam Cornell Krauss, a fellow German immigrant to Pernambuco. Brasiliana Itau pp. 328-329.

Oblong quarto (315 x 406mm). Lithographed pictorial title on yellow paper, lithographed prospectus dated 1878 and 48 chromolithographed plates (pale spotting and toning). Original green cloth, gilt-lettered title (sympathetically rebacked with old spine laid down, few mild stains and light rubbing to cloth).Carls, F.H.
