Description

Cover artwork for the samba "Ratoeira", by Andre Filho and Alberto Ribeiro. The cover features a cartoonish Carnaval player holding a hollow, wooden container (possibly a cuica or other friction drum) while calling out or singing. The page area around the player reads "Carnaval 1938", and the lower right corner includes a photograph of singer Sylvio Caldas, who recorded the piece with Odeon.
