| Abstract | |
In the course of the 19th century, the humorous illustrated press produced by the lithographic process predominated in Brazil, but coexisted with periodicals considered serious, which endeavored to incorporate in their pages the woodcut, as was the case in the European press, the example of Ilustração do Brasil (RJ, 1876-1880) and its counterpart, Ilustração Popular (RJ, 1876-1877), both by Charles F. de Vivaldi (1824-1902), who would have had the help of his daughter, Corina of Vivaldi (1859-1892). These publications stood out during the final years of the 1870s for trying to supply the growing demand for prints in Brazil and offering their respective readers, that is, the intellectual elite and the less affluent layers, luxurious prints. Taking them as a source and object, we intend to carry out a systematic analysis of the content of these forms, in order to highlight what was chosen to be published and how such content contributed to the construction of a given idea about the Brazilian nation and society. Always placing themselves as champions of national and social modernity, these journals aspired to instruct, moralize and civilize, thus fulfilling the role they attributed to the press. (AU) | |
