Editorial comments on this plate:

We present our readers, this week, with the promised South American Views made by S. W. Burnham during his expedition to the eastern coast of South America, to photograph the late solar eclipse. The accompanying article by Mr. Burnham describes the pictures in detail. They all “admirably reproduced,” as Mr. Burnham writes, “Nothing could be better.”
The group was arranged and the plate made by the New York Photo-Gravure Company.
