Hand-colored aquatint depicting the marketplace in Buenos Aires, featuring views of the Recova (the meat market), carts, fish and poultry sellers, passersby, and customers walking away with their purchases. The author describes the market as follows: "Vegetables and fruit are sold in front of the spirit-houses, and under the south piazza. A double line is formed from the north to the south angle by the dealers in poultry, eggs, &c. [...] Ladies never go to market; gentlemen sometimes take the trouble; but in general it is left to a servant, or rather a confidential slave. Two of these are seen in the foreground with their provision for the day, of which two articles are remarkable — partridges and armadillos."
