"The Iron Collar," "Negroes Working in the Rain," and "Carrying Tiles" are three notable illustrations from "Voyage Pittoresque et Historique au Brésil," a significant work by the French painter Jean-Baptiste Debret. Debret, who lived from 1768 to 1848, was a member of the French artistic mission to Brazil that aimed to promote the arts in the newly independent country. His work provides a detailed and often harrowing visual account of Brazilian society in the first half of the 19th century, with a particular focus on the lives of slaves and indigenous people.

Debret's "Voyage Pittoresque et Historique au Brésil" was published between 1834 and 1839 and is considered an essential historical document for understanding the social dynamics and daily life in Brazil during that period. The illustrations are characterized by their vivid detail and poignant portrayal of the harsh realities faced by the enslaved population.

"The Iron Collar" depicts the brutal punishment devices used on slaves, showcasing Debret's attention to the inhumane conditions they endured. "Negroes Working in the Rain" illustrates the relentless labor forced upon the enslaved individuals, regardless of the harsh weather conditions, highlighting their exploitation and the lack of regard for their well-being. "Carrying Tiles" portrays the physical burden of manual labor, as slaves are shown transporting construction materials, a testament to the backbreaking work that underpinned the colonial economy.

These illustrations serve not only as works of art but also as historical records, providing insight into the social structure and racial hierarchy of 19th-century Brazil. Debret's work is often studied for its ethnographic significance and its contribution to the understanding of Brazilian history, particularly the period of slavery and the early years of the country's independence.
