Summary

Description
English: A watercolour painting version of a monochrome engraving original presumptively by Thomas Jefferson Page (La Plata, the Argentine Confederation and Paraguay, Harper, New York, 1859, page 187). The original shows USS Water Witch exploring the River Paraguay adjacent Corumbá (Mato Grosso, Brazil) then a small thatched village, today a substantial town. The colour version is by José Igancio Garmendia, amateur watercolorist and a general in the Argentine army. It was Garmendia's custom to take a historical monochrome original and render it in watercolour. USS Water Witch was a paddle wheel steamer of the U.S. Navy which explored the rivers of the River Plate Basin in the 1850s. Here she is shown at the extremity of her voyage, nearly 2,000 miles from the sea.
