Zusammenfassung:Pezzati features Penn Museum's Matto Grosso Expedition of 1931, organized by Captain Vladimir Perfilieff, a Russian-born artist and world traveler, and Alexander Siemel, a Latvian who had worked for many years in Brazil as a guide and hunter. The expedition set sail by steamer from New York on the day after Christmas, 1930. The long trip took the party first to Montevideo, Uruguay, and then upstream to Rancho Descalvados located at the headwaters of the Paraguay River in the heart of the Mato Grosso region, which was to serve as expedition headquarters.
