Portraits of the Portuguese Republican Conspiracy: Three Negatives from Foto-Carvalho
Three large-format negatives from Foto-Carvalho, a former Estremoz studio, reveal the faces of Machado Santos, Luz de Almeida and António Maria da Silva, members of the Carbonária’s Alta Venda. Found broken and unidentified, these portraits link the local history of Estremoz to the republican conspiracy that led to the 1910 Revolution. Preserving also means discovering and sharing the hidden stories of photographic archives.
