The Historic Archive preserves an important collection of 195 photos of Juan Gutierrez, a Spanish photographer that acted in Rio de Janeiro by the
end of the 19th century. Among others, he documented the "Revolta da
Armada" (1893/94), depicting the fortifications, the soldiers and the
weapons that were being used, however never presenting scenes of combat.
His lens captured, also, views of several quarters of the old city of Rio,
reproducing its architecture and daily life.
These are the photos that we reproduce now in our Virtual Gallery.
