= Borba de Moraes p.754; cf. Bosch 377 (German ed.); Sabin 73935. German artist Moritz Rugendas (1802-1858) was recruited by Baron von Langsdorff, a Russian delegate to Rio de Janeiro, to accompany an expedition to Brazil. In Rio he parted ways with the expedition and travelled on by himself. His depictions of the sceneries, towns and population of Brazil have a "genuine documentary value, which are of utmost importance for the study of Brazilian life at the beginning of the 19th century" (Borba de Moraes).

Cornelis de Bruin (De Bruyn, Le Brun, Lebrun) (1652-1726), "Holländ. Zeichner und Asien-Reisender (...) reiste 1701-08 durch Russland und Persien (...) nach Ost-Indien. Auf der schon häufig begangenen Wegen in Persien (...) wusste er doch viel Neues, auch naturwissenschaftlich, zu beobachten, und seine Reisebeschreibung, die Gebriel eine der besten aus jener Zeit nennt, verdiente wohl eine kritische Analyse und Würdigung. (...)." (Henze I, p.378/379). Imposing large panoramic views of i.a. Moscow (28,5x187 cm.) and Isfahan (29x190 cm.). As the author states in his introduction to both works, he has aimed at depicting the sites and towns that he describes true to life and not, as he writes, based on verbal descriptions given by others.
