The plate reproduces a portrait of the author by Eduardo Malta.The poet and sometime literary and art critic [José] Carlos Queiroz [Nunes Ribeiro (1907-1949)] received the Prémio Antero de Quental in 1935. He directed the reviews Panorama (1941) and Litoral (1944). Poet from an early age, his work is dispersed in various literary reviews, the most notable of which was Presença, to which he was one of the most frequent contributors; he served as a bridge between the modernist generation of Orpheu and that of Presença in general, and in particular between Fernando Pessoa and Presença. In the July 1936 issue (nº 48) he wrote a "Carta à memória de Fernando Pessoa". Other reviews in which the work of Carlos Queiroz appeared were Contemporânea, Cancioneiro (do Primeiro Salão dos Independentes), Momento, Sudoeste, Revista de Portugal, Cadernos de poesia, Aventura, and Variante.Among the illustrious clients of the binder Frederico d'Almeida were the Count of Barcelona and the exiled former King Umberto of Italy.Provenance: One of the most popular and prolific writers of the first half of the twentieth century, the poet, writer, and playwright João da Silva Tavares (Estremoz, 1893-Lisbon, 1964), wrote some 90 pieces for the theater, mostly in collaboration with others. He wrote the libretto for the opera D. João IV, performed at the Teatro São Carlos in 1940 as part of the celebrations to commemorate the three hundredth anniversary of Portuguese independence.
