"A Botocudos Indian Family, engraved by Victor Adam (1801–1866) circa 1835" is a notable work by the German painter and illustrator Johann Moritz Rugendas (1802–1858). This engraving is part of Rugendas' extensive body of work documenting the indigenous peoples and landscapes of Latin America, particularly during his travels in Brazil. The piece is a significant historical record of the Botocudo people, an indigenous group from the eastern regions of Brazil, known for their distinctive body modifications, including lip and ear plugs.

The engraving is characterized by its detailed representation of the Botocudo family's traditional attire, adornments, and the natural environment in which they lived. Rugendas' attention to ethnographic detail reflects his commitment to capturing the diverse cultures and practices of the people he encountered during his travels. The work is also an example of the 19th-century European fascination with "exotic" cultures, which often intersected with colonialist perspectives.

Victor Adam, a French lithographer and illustrator, is credited with engraving this particular image, which helped disseminate Rugendas' work to a broader audience. The collaboration between Rugendas and Adam is an example of the synergy between explorers and printmakers in the 19th century, which played a crucial role in the visual documentation of remote cultures and regions.

"A Botocudos Indian Family" is not only an important artistic artifact but also serves as a historical document that offers insight into the lives of the Botocudo people during a period of significant change and upheaval due to European colonization. The engraving remains a valuable resource for scholars interested in ethnography, art history, and the history of indigenous peoples in Brazil.
