Picture postcards were very expressive in the begining of the 20th century and played a particularly relevant role in the process of the implementation of the Republic in Portugal. Many copies reproducing images allusive to the political agitation of that period are known. A sellection of these postcards was recently edited in a book entitled Os postais da primeira República [Postcards from the first Republic]. The book, organized by Antonio Ventura, will be presented at 15th October during a conference on Picture Postcard and Politics. Promoted in the scope of the celebration of the Republic Centenary, this initiative will take place at Museu da Tapeçaria in Portalegre.
