Demonstra-se como o componente humano – especialmente o negro, o índio e o mestiço – constituía objeto de interesse e apreciação desses agentes históricos. Além disto, constata-se que os temas: raça, religiosidade, educação e imigração europeia eram considerados fatores que poderiam afetar o grau de progresso e civilização da província da Bahia e, até mesmo, do Brasil. Para tanto, analisa-se de que modo as ideias e concepções de mundo presentes nos olhares dos visitantes gestaram imagens e representações acerca da Bahia oitocentista.This paper analyzes how the racial and cultural diversity in Bahia was observed by eight foreign travelers who visited Brazil and went through Bahia, Maria Graham, Charles Darwin, Daniel Kidder, conde de Suzannet, Robert Avé-Lallemant, Maximiliano de Habsburgo e Louis e Elizabeth Agassiz,in the course of the nineteenth century, demonstrating how the human component - especially the black, Indian and mestizo - became object of interest and appreciation of these historical actors. It appears as items race, religion, education and European immigration were considered as factors that could affect the degree of progress and civilization of the province of Bahia and even Brazil. Therefore, I seek to identify how the ideas and worldviews present in the visitor‟s eyes gave birth images and representations about the nineteenth-century Bahia. / Salvador
