This profusely illustrated presentation covers the known period of the documented poster, from the 17th century to the 21st century, resulting from the author’s research over almost five years for the publication of “História da Publicidade em Portugal” and “História Ilustrada da Publicidade em Portugal,” published in November 2023.”   This is the first seminar of the seminar cycle “Paths of Development.”
