We see the family of a smartly dressed farmer He only had a small holding, although not tiny as the family is well dressed and looks rather prosperous. Note the girls' various dress styles (figure 1). The photogrph was taken on the family farm, and we can just make out their home in the background. Because Tocantinsit is located in the central zone of the country, it has terraine in the north that is similar to the anmazzonin Basin and in the south bcomes semi-open pastures, known as cerrado. In rural Brazil even in a quite wealthy family it was not seen as inappropriate that babies were unclothed in fasmily portrits. This was common in southern Europe and Portuguese and Spanish colonies in the Americas.
