    Este trabalho debruça-se sobre a iconografia paulistana do século XIX, em suas pinturas, aquarelas e litografias. Partindo da constatação da existência de um privilegiamento das áreas dos arredores do centro nas representações da cidade, especificamente uma região, a várzea do Carmo, e dessa permanência ainda na virada do século, quando a cidade sofre um processo de urbanização e crescimento grande, e a fotografia já está registrando as áreas centrais, quisemos investigar os sentidos dessas representações, tanto a presença desse espaço - a várzea do Carmo - no imaginário da época (cronistas, legisladores, memorialistas), quanto as imagens da cidade que estão sendo produzidas a partir desse ângulo de registro. Escolhemos analisar algumas imagens dessa região, concentrando-nos no final do século, contrapondo com outros discursos produzidos sobre a área por cronistas, jornalistas e memorialistas, na tentativa de entender um pouco mais a sociedade que as produziu

    This article studies the origins, flourishment and decadence of a certain style of\ud building, known as swiss cottages or chalets, in the urban environment of Sao Paulo. Its source\ud is found in 19th century romanticism and in the last quarter of the eighteen hundreds this kind\ud of construction was very popular. At this time it had taken on a high symbolic value although\ud of an ambiguous nature - for it was both intimately associated to an idealization of country\ud life and to technological modernity, which was then being ushered in the city of Sao Paulo. It\ud became very popular on account of the availability of industrialized construction material for\ud importation and it expanded during a construction boom that attained the city of Sao Paulo,\ud after 1875. On the downfall of Brazilian monarchy, it gradually disappeared, as it became\ud the object of restrictive measures from the local county, which considered its proliferation unruly.\ud From the beginning of the XXth century, there was a change in public taste and urban reforms\ud were implemented in downtown Sao Paulo (1902 to 1914), which was followed by a desire\ud for a new urban scene, more in touch with the system of values and interests of hegemonic\ud sectors of the local political elite
