Cultura do Café no Brazil (Culture du Café au Brésil), was produced by the Sociedade Nacional de Agricultura, Secção de Geographia Agricola and awarded the Grand Prix at the Exposição Nacional of 1908. It is a landmark thematic map illustrating the geographic distribution of coffee cultivation across Brazil at the height of the country’s emergence as the world’s leading coffee producer.

The map presents Brazil in full, with coffee-growing zones highlighted in red, clearly concentrated along the southeastern states—most notably São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, and Espírito Santo. These regions, shown in dense clusters, reflect the core areas of plantation agriculture supported by favorable climate, altitude, and expanding railway networks. Lesser zones appear in Paraná and Bahia, indicating the gradual geographic expansion of coffee cultivation in the early twentieth century.

Topographic shading, river systems, and state boundaries provide geographic context, while ports and transport routes underscore the link between agricultural production and export infrastructure. The bilingual Portuguese–French title reflects Brazil’s intention to present its agricultural strength to an international audience.

Both scientific and promotional, the map exemplifies early agricultural geography and national economic ambition. Today, it stands as an important historical document, capturing the spatial foundations of Brazil’s coffee economy and its central role in global trade during the early republican period.
