An abbreviated annotated Portuguese translation by Gastão Penalva was printed by the Imprensa Naval in Rio de Janeiro, 1936."Four Neapolitan ships accompanied the Brazilian fleet which carried the Empress Tereza Cristina to Brazil. She had been married by proxy to Pedro II in Naples. On board one the these ships was a young Sicilian naval officer, Eurgenio Rodriguez, who wrote an account of the voyage and of the time he spent in Rio de Janeiro. This work contains a beautiful portrait of Pedro II."-Borba de Moraes. .*** Berger (1980), p. 376 (citing a copy at Biblioteca Itamarati).

Brasiliana Itaú, p. 148 (map and panorama in black and white): "A planta da baía do Rio de Janeiro merece ser melhor conhecida pois candidata-se sem dúvida a posição de melhor imagem da região até o final do século XIX. A vista panoramica, pelas dimensões e qualidade da litografia, tambem faz parte das melhores panoramas tardios do Rio de Janeiro." Duarte de Sousa, II, 617 (map and panorama in black and white).
