The International Exhibition: the Brazilian Court - from a photograph by the London Stereoscopic Company, 1862. 'The collection comprised diamonds, emeralds, topazes, amethysts, jasper, and gold;...coal from Laguna, iron ores, and malachite...vegetable acids and drugs, amidst which ipecacuanha was prominent. Then came the product of the sugarcane, in the shape of sugar and rum; there was excellent-looking coffee...and scented green tea from San Paulo...There were examples of fruits, seeds, gums, resins, and dyestuffs, indigo especially...there were exhibited agricultural implements which were creditable to the inventors...there can be no little skill in the Brazilian workers in gold-thread, for the embroidery and ornamental gold lace was remarkable for its taste in design and neatness of manufacture. Some improved smallarms, and models of ships from the naval arsenal, were also shown. Amongst the products wero cotton, white and yellow, including raw cotton from Pernambuco, and cotton piece goods from Rio Janeiro; and of manufactured articles we would point to the coloured morocco and other leathers, which were of excellent quality...the collection gave a very favourable idea of the internal resources of the empire of Brazil'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862.
