Sabin 28234. Vgl. Borba de Moraes I, S. 314 (nennt nur "Journal of a voyage to Brasil" aus demselben Jahr). - "This extraordinary woman visited Brazil three times. First, aboard the frigate 'Doris' commanded by her husband, Thomas Graham, on a voyage to Chili. Second, on the return voyage to England, after having become a widow in Chili. Third, in 1824, at the invitation of D. Pedro, to become the Governess to D. Maria da Gloria ... Maria Graham was not only a writer posessing genuine talent, but she was also an interesting designer. The greater part of the plates which illustrate her book are reproductions from her own drawings. The others were made by Augustus Earle, a young English artist whom she met in Rio." (Borba de Moraes). - Stempel "Kings Inn Library Dublin 1 - may 1957".
