I believe he took the photos one by one, pasting them, like some sort of CTR + C CTR + V, into the room's picture, and maybe taken a picture of the set later. I suppose. Very good for 1901.
I'll get something else from this period.

Oh, the boss probably did not like his colleague very much LoL
Usually, in other countries, it is usually believed that Spanish is spoken in Brazil. I, for example, do not understand almost anything Spanish.
Possibly, the only states where a small part of the population understands or speaks very little of Spanish would be the frontiers with the Hispanic countries. Like, Uruguay, Argentina, Bolivia, etc.

Spanish is almost never taught in schools here. Usually, basic English is taught in schools. Not all. French, Spanish and other languages are usually taught only in language schools. With high values, by the way.

By the way, the British influence here is appreciable in some things.
For example, here is the Brazilian Marines.

Here, the "brazilian piper" band.

@udrako - that's not British - that's Scottish. That's a pipe band. I never knew the connection between Scotland and Brazil until fairly recently. One of of my main work colleagues is from a place just outside Glasgow called Alexandria - her grand-father went to Brazil to help set up a cloth mill - he never came back. He married a local girl. She has relatives there. Apparently we gave you football - but - obviously - you are so much better at it than us now. Oh - from a strictly Scottish point of view their kilts are too long , there are rules about these things. They are technically skirts. Ha ha. Although I can't play the instrument - I grew up with pipers. My grand father was a pipe major. Yours - I.

Oh, excuse my terrible English.
When I wrote "British", I meant UK, thinking of "Scotland" specifically
My English is very basic and I use a pocket dictionary
So I think in Portuguese and I end up choosing the wrong words.
Your colleague lost contact with his grandfather?
Our football was reasonably good, but not currently.
Oh the bagpipes, I never touched them, only heard.

Oh yes
Nor were the beaches along the coast at that time, they were created later.

The river/waterfall, like a fog, reminds me of this kind of painting

Reminds me of the German Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich as well

We have bag pipes in Asturias, Spain, too. They make me feel miserable.
