Légende

The town of Cameta, in Para, South America, 1868. 'The Brazilian province of Para, which lies to the south of the great estuary of the river Amazon, is now becoming a country of great commercial importance. One of the rivers flowing into the same estuary, which were opened to foreign merchant-vessels last September, is the Tocantins, with the town of Cameta on its banks. It was visited in August by H.M.S. Sharpshooter [of the British Royal Navy], and we have to thank Mr. C. Raxworthy, of that ship, for the view of Cameta engraved in this Number'. From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
