Album das glorias : homens d'estado, poetas, jornalistas, dramaturgos, actores, politicos, pintores, medicos, industriaes, typos das salas, typos das ruas, instituições, etc
Album das glorias is a Portuguese illustrated caricature album published in Lisbon in 1880, made by Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro and collaborators for a general readership interested in celebrities, statesmen, writers and types of city life. The pictures are full-length colour lithographic caricatures of men in exaggerated poses with large heads, moustaches and fashionable dress, set against plain flat grounds with captions below. A designer could take from them the expressive exaggeration of posture and gesture, the bold flat colour fields, and the way a single figure is framed by a thin border and a title strip.
