This catalog gathers images and essays about one of the least known periods of Carlos Relvas photography. For his study, it was decisive to cross the images from the archive of Casa-Estudio Carlos Relvas with the collections of five institutions and several individuals, revealing a considerable and unprecedented set of original evidence in albumin. This ambitious survey allowed the rediscovery of portraits and views of Portugal that witness a rigorous practice of different techniques, genres and photographic formats, giving a broader and more dynamic configuration to the first period of the photographic work of Carlos Relvas.
From this work it is possible to deepen and reveal new fundamental aspects for the knowledge of Portuguese photography in Oitocentos, as the nature of the dialogue between photography and painting of the nineteenth century through the relations of complicity of Carlos Relvas with some of the most important painters of this period, or the predominance in the lounges of patrimonial photography and landscape, as a privileged means of spreading the country, of a prolific production centered in some of the places of choice of Portuguese Romanticism and in others that became patrimonial symbols of national identity.
