Houses on the Waterfront (Formosa Beach?), Rio de Janeiro

The present drawing, numbered '99', clearly originates from the sketchbook now in the MuseumAfrica which includes Burchell's immediately preceding (98 The English Cemetery 22.7.26) and following (100 A Jetty 24.7.26) drawings (Kennedy B2199 and B2200) and the present view appears to be taken in the opposite direction to the drawing made two days later (101 Houses on the Waterfront 24.7.26, Kennedy B2201) identified as the Praia Formosa by Ferrez ('A pencil sketch showing the houses of Formosa beach [which] has a great iconographic value as it is the only one known of this district').
