A pioneering work that without doubt will remain a standard in its field. While only some of the illustrations are in color, all were produced using color transparencies. The English text is comprehensible, though occasionally slightly stilted. A volume in similar format, by the same author, appeared in 1990: O bilhete postal ilustrado e a história urbana de Lisboa. / The Illustrated Postcard and the Urban History of Lisbon. Another appeared in 1994: O bilhete postal ilustrado e a história urbana do Porto. / The Illustrated Postcard and the Urban History of Oporto. In 1995 was published O bilhete postal ilustrado e a história urbana do Algarve. / The Illustrated Postcard and the Urban History of Algarve. They are available for $100.00 each.
