In most years a Escola Americana Carioca Yearbook was produced. A yearbook as defined in the dictionary is usually a bound publication recording the year’s events and typically containing photographs of students and faculty. They are documents of an earlier time. This website endeavors to display some of those EAYEARBOOKS.
Nice pictures. I had no idea how Rio de Janeiro looked in the past.
