It was most likely produced between 1895 and 1915, a period in which Benedito Calixto dedicated himself to projects of historical memory, consulted Debret's works, and produced documentary studies for his compositions and institutional commissions.  It accurately depicts the pillory of the old Praça do Rossio in Rio de Janeiro, a symbolic monument of the colonial period that no longer exists. The rarity of the piece lies in the combination of the meticulous drawing and the explanatory text handwritten in French, highlighting Calixto's direct access to original sources and his concern for preserving the visual memory of the country.

The image was probably taken between 1890 and 1910, a period when the farm replaced enslaved labor—abolished in 1888—with a sharecropping system using Italian immigrants. Despite being free, many of these immigrants lived in very difficult conditions: they arrived indebted, paid \"rent,\" paid for the use of the land, and bought food at the farm's store, almost always on credit. This created a cycle of dependency that, in practice, was not very different from the exploitation experienced by the formerly enslaved. The chapel served as a meeting point for these communities, bringing everyone together for religious festivals and rituals, even with profound social inequalities. The Santa Thereza Farm ceased to exist as a large coffee plantation around the 1930s-1940s, and today its former area is part of the urban zone of Limeira, occupied by neighborhoods and new buildings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis photograph is important because it shows, in the same space, formerly enslaved people and Italian immigrants, both facing harsh forms of labor and economic dependence during the height of the coffee boom. L. Sampaio's professional record strengthens the documentary character of the scene and preserves a rare moment of the post-Abolition transition. The image summarizes a decisive period in Brazilian rural history, revealing how faith, work, and inequality coexisted at the beginning of the 20th century. The exceptional size of the image, rich in detail, gives additional value to this item.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Glórias | Autógrafos e Manuscritos Raros","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62640313008287,"sku":"614","price":6000.0,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1945\/8243\/files\/fotografiafazendasantathereza2.jpg?v=1768167994"}],"url":"https:\/\/glorias.com.br\/en\/collections\/documentos-historicos-escravidao.oembed","provider":"Glórias | Autógrafos e Manuscritos Raros","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
