HOMENAGEM da Marinha a D. Luiz Marinheiro e Rei. Lisboa. 1989. - HOMENAGEM da Marinha a D. Luiz Marinheiro e Rei . Lisboa: Instituto Hidrográfico, 1989. [37] ff.: il.; 315 mm. Facsimile edition, published by the Portuguese Navy on the centenary of the death of King Luís I (1838-1889). It reproduces the album of condolences offered in 1889 to Queen Maria Pia – Tribute of the Respectful and Profound Sentiment of the Navy Corporation for the Passing of its Admiral, King Luís I – with the signatures of the Navy officers and the margins illustrated by the then King Carlos I, in homage to the memory of his father and his devotion to maritime life. King Luís I, who joined the Navy at a young age and became a ship's commander before ascending the throne, is evoked in the preface as a paradigm of the officer who, having been a sailor, never ceased to be one while king. Profusely illustrated with reproductions of drawings, sketches and watercolors of nautical motifs. Interesting. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
