Ângelo Agostini and the Cartoons at the Imperial Twilight - Preliminary Notes on the Abolition in Brazil
Abstract This paper aims at pointing out relevant questions on the analysis of the work of nineteenth-century cartoonist Ângelo Agostini, as well as to present pertinent arguments on the analysis of images in the historiographical field. To this end, the text locates the artist's production in contextual terms, as an heir to an art tradition that has in the nineteenth century its first golden age: the political and social cartoon. Then, after a brief consideration of the analysis of images in historical studies, two cartoons produced by Agostini on the great theme of abolitionism are interpreted as exemplary analysis.
