Volume I, the only one published. A descriptive study of the noble carriages and gala carriages of the Portuguese Royal House, approached from a fourfold perspective: architectural, mythological, heraldic, and historical. The author states that he does not intend to write a didactic work, but an elucidation of a collection of noble carriages that he considers perhaps the largest and richest in the world. A carefully edited edition from the National Press, printed on quality paper and illustrated with ornate capital letters, floral motifs and trimmings, and with prints outside the text, on coated paper, reproducing the vehicles described. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
