Augusto Malta was the official photographer of the Rio de Janeiro city when the XX century began, and was thus a privileged witness of the rapid evolution of Rio's architectural development during the Belle Époque. His work can be admired up close at the IMS Institute in Rio de Janeiro. This copy, which hangs in the Via Parque Shopping Mall, shows the front of the Thêatro Municipal de Rio in about 1930. #brazil #riodejaneiro #barradatijuca #viaparqueshopping #augustomalta #augustomaltaphotography #imsinstitute #institutoims #photography #historicalphotography #vintageriodejaneiro #theatromunicipalderiodejaneiro #belleepoque #riodejaneiroarchitecture (at Via Parque Shopping) https://www.instagram.com/p/BphW_TsHGmX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t1kvs7ikmeuc
