Information and discussion on all aspects of British photographic history
"Olhares sobre a fotografia"é um e-book que reúne textos de Nuno Pinheiro. A maior parte dos textos é sobre a fotografia portuguesa por volta de 1900 e corresponde a versões revistas dos que foram publicados em "A Capital" no final dos anos 90. Entre eles encontra-se "Gramophones da Luz" (segundo uma expressão de Afonso Lopes Vieira) que marca a primeira abordagem à fotografia do ponto de vista da história social.

Amedee Lemaire de Ternande: Street Scene with Carriage, Lisbon, Portugal. Albumen print from wet plate negative, 1858, on original mount.
Ternande was known for his photographs of the arrival in Lisbon of the 15-year old Stephanie of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, the future queen (ever so briefly, only days until she died) of Portugal (May 18, 1858). Stephanie was the Princess Diana of her day. His work is extremely rare.
Amedee Lemaire de Ternande: The Arrival in Lisbon of Stephanie de Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen. Salt print from wet plate negative, 7-1/16 x 8-11/16 in. (180 x 221 mm), 1858, unmounted. Scene in Parca do Commercial, Lisbon, Portugal, during the celebration and parade during the arrival in Lisbon of the 15-year old Stephanie of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, the future queen (ever so briefly, only days until she died) of Portugal (May 18, 1858). Stephanie was the Princess Diana of her day. The photographer placed himself above the crowd on a balcony or rooftop. His camera records the flapping of a flag in the left foreground that registers as a blur. Also distinctive and lovely is his record of the dark lace details of the women's shawls in the center foreground. The photographs of the event spawned illustrations in Le Monde (June 12 and 19, 1858); L'Illustration (June 5, 1858); and Archives Pittoresques de Lisbon (May and June, 1858).
Frederick William Flower: Regoa Village on the Upper Douro River (Portugal). Paper negative with later positive prints, 8-1/2 x 11 in. (216 x 279 mm), 1850c.
Image of Portuguese village, near Oporto, with Roman bridge over the river Douro. Modern salt print from original negative by Allan Janus (1980c). Earlier print identified on verso by Flower’s grandson (three prints in all). Early photographs of Portugal before 1860 are quite rare, as I am sure most of you know, and Flower's are considered some of the first images made of landscapes in Portugal.
Hello Noemie,
I have a hyper synthetic text on 19th c. Portuguese photography that refers to some of the photographers you mention (https://www.academia.edu/2251862/Encyclopedia_of_Nineteenth-Century...)
On Manuel Goulart you may find these:
New Bedford Whaling Museum - "Two Brothers Goulart; Photography in New Bedford and the Azores". New Bedford, Mass.: Old Dartmouth Historical Society-New Bedford Whaling Museum, 1996. Catalogue of the exhibition at the New Bedford Whaling Museum, Oct. 11, 1996 to Mar. 31, 1997.
"The Cabinet Card Gallery: Young and attractive bridal couple In New Bedford", Massachusetts, https://cabinetcardgallery.wordpress.com/category/photographer-goul...
There is also a text that I can find no more (this is the problem with internet publications):
Standard, Charlene Rocha - "Focusing on the Azorean Connection", http://www.s-t.com/daily/11-96/11-10-96/e05li181.htm
You can regularly find large stereoviews of the series "Azores, Madeira and Portugal", taken by Goulart brothers for sale at online auction websites like eBay, etc.
If you understand Portuguese there are some publications with additional information on some of the other photographers. Unfortunately you still can't find these texts digitized.
Good research,
Nuno
Dear Noemie,
I can send you some informations and bibliography on Biel and Vasques, I've already studied.
On Biel, in English, you can follow this link to a recent article: https://www.academia.edu/7267791/Revealing_Nature_Landscape_Photogr... Furthermore there is a small 2010 book in Portuguese that was based on my MD thesis that includes a DVD with images, bibliography and archive research. Tell me if you are interested in it.
On Vasques there is a small text (only in Portuguese) in an exhibition catalog:
https://www.academia.edu/7291886/O_Teatro_e_a_Fotografia_no_Tempo_d...
Hope I can publish soon a more detailed text on Vasques. Please send me you questions on it and I will answer them with pleasure.
Best regards,
Paulo

Thank You very much for your help
Thank you for the invitation Nuno de Avelar Pinheiro. Ours is a small country with many backyards. Let's go for a try!...
Thanks for the invite.
This group is an attempt to get those working on Portuguese Photography together, in the long run we may try to organize a conference, or a publication.
Above all we will try to shorten the distance between Lisbon, Porto, and those who are working abroad.
