“The study that is now presented (…) resulted from a careful examination, born in a daily contact of years ago, which raised a strong curiosity for a better knowledge of the Necessidades building. Once the document search began, scattered and at times difficult, a series of elements were gathered, however, that allow us to trace an initial picture of the history of the aforementioned building. This study was limited to the artistic aspects of the building […] it does not fail, however, to make reference to the main events in History and Politics that conditioned the architectural and artistic developments that the Necessidades building came to undergo”

Edition with very careful graphic design, printed on 150gr matt B.V.S paper. Profusely illustrated throughout the text with dozens of old engravings and maps and about a hundred excellent photographs by Mestre Homem-Cardoso, printed in color, reproducing general and detailed aspects of the Palácio das Necessidades.
