Coimbra. 1953. - SILVA (ARMANDO Carneiro da); MADAHIL (António Gomes da Rocha) COIMBRA nas Gravura Artística - Subsídios para um Catálogo . Com um Estudo Prévio a Propósito de Gravuras e Litografias de Coimbra. Coimbra: Coimbra Editora, 1953. 124 pp; il.; 240 mm This is the first systematic attempt to catalog the engraved iconography of Coimbra, bringing together a survey of engravings and lithographs that, since the 16th century, have represented the city and the University. The volume opens with a preliminary study on the history of these graphic representations, from the oldest known view of Coimbra, published by Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg in Civitates Orbis Terrarum (1572), to prints by travelers and foreign artists of the 18th and 19th centuries. Foundational work in this area of Coimbra iconography would be further developed by Armando Carneiro da Silva in his later work Estampas Coimbrãs (1964). A reference tool for collectors and researchers of historical images of Coimbra. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
