Serrote Portugal a Cores

Label / Serrote
Category / Illustration, Photography
Code / SERROTE

Excerpts from reports of foreigners visiting Portugal in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The authors, in their wanderings, wrote about: lice, gallantry, rabbits, snuff, spectacles, snacks and megalomania, among others. Illustrated with black and white colourized photographs. "... The art of printing is not in a more advanced state of improvement. Their types are oldfashioned and coarsely cast; their composition is neither neat nor correct; their editions are slovenly and faulty; their paper is of a small size and a bad colour. Scarcely ten good editions printed at Lisbon can be mentioned, and these have been printed with types imported from Paris. Their books are even worse bound than printed." Carrere, 1809
