This is a c. 1900 broadside promoting investment in Brazil's São Paulo-Rio Grande Railway. Written in French and published by the Imprimerie Chaix in Paris, a map of the Brazilian coastline from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to Montevideo, Uruguay occupies the left portion of the broadside. Cities, towns, and villages are identified, but the focus of the work is the planned construction of the Compagnie du Chemin de Fer de São Paulo et Rio Grande (Sao Paulo-Rio Grande Railway Company) between Itarare to the Uruguay River with two spur lines to the Parana River. Illustrated in orange, lines operated by the Compagnie du Chemin de Fer de São Paulo et Rio Grande would connect with lines operated by the Compagnie Générale du Chemins de Fer Brésiliens (General Brazilian Railway Company) and the Compagnie des Chemins de Fer Sud-Ouest Brésiliens (Southwest Brazilian Railway Company). The routes of the Compagnie Générale du Chemins de Fer Brésiliens are shown here in black, while the lines operated by the Compagnie des Chemins de Fer Sud-Ouest Brésiliens are blue. (more details)
