AN EARLY GUIDEBOOK FOR MIGRANTS TO BRAZIL. Large 8vo. (2), 458 pp, including dozens of maps and city plans (some colored), as well as hundreds of advertisements aimed at emigrés in text. Bound in contemporary quarter black calf over cherry red boards, with gilt title (in Spanish) on spine. Gutter of title-page repaired; a few margins and corners chipped and frayed, with loss of a few letters; a good survival withal. Extremely rare first (and sole?) edition of this fascinating guidebook aimed at Portuguese, Spanish, and French emigrants destined for Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina in the late 19th century. The text allows the modern reader to trace the lengthy journey for such migrants, who may have begun their travels in rural France before making their way to Le Havre or through Spain to Barcelona or Lisbon, whence passenger ships sailed for Pernambuco, Bahia, Rio de Janeiro, and Montevideo via the Canary Islands, Cape Verde, or Dakar (Senegal). Much of the text describes the practical aspects of these emigrations costs, itineraries, insurance, dog allowance (25 to 50 francs depending on the size of the animal), baggage services, telegram and mail services, and so on; maps and tables are given for the various routes and times of named ships. The text also recommends pleasurable excursions for the passenger en-route to his destination: museums, public baths, scientific academies, promenades, etc. Across the Atlantic, some local color is given to the common destinations for European settlers: new arrivals to Brazil, for example, should be aware that "la abolición de la esclavitud acaba de poner á la órden del dia la cuestión de la immigración. En efecto, la transición súbita del estado de servidumbre á la Libertad, de que los negros no habian gozado nunca, vá seguramente á producer cierta pertubación en el pais" (p. 221). The section on Brazil runs from pp. 220-325; Uruguay from pp. 325-361; and Argentina pp. 361-435. OCLC shows just four copies worldwide (BL and 3 in Europe); the BL copy with the same date suggests only 430 pp. * cf Schuster & Hernández (eds.), Imaginando América Latina: Historia y Cultura Visual, Siglos XIX-XXI (2017), p. 84 passim.…
