SEQUEIRA (Gustavo de Matos). TEMPO PASSADO: Crónicas Alfacinhas. Lisboa. 1923. - SEQUEIRA (Gustavo de Matos) TEMPO PASSADO: Crónicas Alfacinhas . Lisboa: Portugália Editora, 1923. 204, [4] pp., 27 est.: il.; 260 mm. First edition. Gustavo Adriano de Matos Sequeira (Lisbon, 1880 - Lisbon, 1962), journalist, politician, archaeologist and central figure in 20th-century Lisbon studies, dedicated a large part of his work to the study and evocation of historical Lisbon. Commissioner of the D. Maria II National Theatre between 1915 and 1919, he collaborated in numerous periodicals and gave more than a hundred lectures on Lisbon-related themes. His most extensive works – After the Earthquake (4 volumes, 1916-1934) and The Carmo and the Trinity (3 volumes, 1939-1941) – have become indispensable references in Portuguese Lisbon studies. Past Time brings together chronicles about episodes and places in Lisbon from other centuries: the French nuns, the tapestries of the Ribeira Palace, the Chiado district, the regicide Domingos Leite Pereira, the city streets in 1826. The work includes 27 extra-text prints on coated paper. Unusual. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
