First sentence: When The Times undertook a survey on Brazil, published on 21 June 1927 as 'The Times Brazil Number', the outstanding works of architecture that it illustrated - the Escola Nacional de Belas Artes [National School of Fine Art] (Adolfo Morales de los Rios 1908), the Teatro Municipal [Municipal Theatre] (Francisco de Oliveira Passos 1909), and the Biblioteca Nacional [Natonal Library] (Francisco Marcelino de Souza Aguiar 1910) - were all in the Second Empire style (Figure 1.1).
