For over 100 years, the archive of amateur photographer Alberto de Sampaio was untouched and exceptionally preserved in his house in Petrópolis, the mountainous region of Rio. Historian Adriana Martins Pereira rescues this remarkable collection of images of experiences in the domestic context and rare records of the city of Rio de Janeiro at the end of the 19th century to the early 20th century. "This book is not only the story of Alberto de Sampaio. It is also of photography and its direct relation with "domestic" cinema in its first decades of expansion, at the encounter of an ordinary man with the world in which he lived, a collective history" (HKB translation) --Page 16.
