Description
English: 'Corcovado', Rio di Janeiro

A cruise to South America is not recorded in 'We Were One' (1935), M.A. Wyllie's memoir of her husband, but another watercolour in the series is dated 1914, evidence that Wyllie and his wife cruised to South America in the early part of 1914 before the outbreak of World War I in August. Mrs Wyllie later referred to their pleasure cruises 'on board the now luxurious liners'. The Corcovado Mountain is shown before the building of the statue of Christ by Heitor da Silva Costa and Paul Landowski (1926-31), now one of Rio's best-known tourist landmarks.

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
