Jean Baptiste Debret (1748-1825) was a student of David in the French Academy and traveled to Brazil in 1816 with the French Artistic Mission, basically bonapartists who had fallen out of favor in France after the defeat of Napoleon. Debret remained in Brazil from 1816-1831, recording most faithfully all aspects of Brazil from the flora and fauna to slavery and the royalty, leaving us a very important documentation of life in Imperial Brazil during the early 19th century. Upon his return to Paris, he put these prints together along with text in his remarkable Voyage Pittoresque et Historique au Bresil, which today is an essential pictorial reference of the era. The original 1834 edition was also published in black and white and then later hand colored for an additional fee as was typical of bound illustrations of the period. During his stay, Debret produced many original watercolors and sketches, of which many were lost after the printing, although 360 were found in the possession of Debret's great-granddaughter and were purchased by Castro Maya and brought to Brazil, where they can now be seen in the Castro Maya Museum in Brazil.
