Sinopse

Like our previous work Greetings from Brazil, this book takes readers on a trip through time and space to places shown in postcards and souvenir albums (the vast majority of which were issued during the first three decades of the 20th century). During this period, railways were the only efficient means of transportation for passengers and freight. Gradually, the lines were extended – linking together to form an enormous network that advanced into the unpopulated and unexplored regions of Brazil. Railways frequently opened up the wilderness, and settlers followed – establishing farms and cities along the tracks. Many of these settlements began as simple train stops.
