Europe, France, mid-19th century CE. A trio of original, hand-colored, steel engravings produced by the engraving firm of ROUARGUE FRÈRES in Paris, France and published in Emile Auguste Begin's 1852 travelogue entitled, "Voyage Pittoresque en Espagne et en Portugal. Illustrations de M. M. Rouargue Freres." Size: images measure 4.75" W x 6.625" H (12.1 cm x 16.8 cm); pages measure 6.75" W x 10" H (17.1 cm x 25.4 cm)

The first is entitled, "Espagnols - Toreador" (Spaniards, Toreador) drawn by A. Rouargue and engraved by his brother E. Rouargue. Next, two identical hand-colored steel engravings by the brothers Rouargue entitled, "Péruvienne, Brésilien, Chilien" (Peruvian, Brasilian, Chilean). Wonderful visual culture indicative of the French fascination with Spain and Portugal, a marvelous window onto 19th century transculturalism.
