Artes e letras
Artes e letras is a Portuguese art and literature anthology compiled by Francisco Rangel de Lima and published in Lisbon by Rolland & Semiond in 1872, aimed at a general reading public interested in the arts. Its engraved plates show rural scenes with sheep and a farmyard, a lone figure on a wooded path, an interior with figures in period dress, and a reclining young man in a landscape, all rendered in dense black-and-white line work with strong tonal contrast that a designer could study for composition and value.
