ENGLISH VERSION - VER PORTUGUÊS
This project aims to publicize old books that are referenced on Três Séculos de Modas (1923), by João Affonso do Nascimento, an acclaimed art critic and caricaturist from northern Brazil, who in 1923 would publish the first book of history of fashion by a brazilian author. He said in 1914 that his library would be his inheritance to his grandchildren, and therefore, we make available here 48 publications that João Affonso mentions at the end of his book, all with digital access from libraries around the world, to immortalize the will of this writer.

about joão affonsoWriter, artist, art critic, João Affonso do Nascimento (1852-1924) was born in Maranhão and built a career in port commerce and the press, simultaneously, which led him to live in cities such as Belém, Manaus and Paris. Respected as an art critic, journalist and chronicler, he created his own illustrated magazines and published, in 1923, the book Três Séculos de Modas, where he used his vast knowledge of art and literature, as well as his library that we present here, to produce his book.

the book "between words, drawings and fashion"This project is part of the launch of my book "Between words, drawings, customs and fashions: a journey with João Affonso", published by Appris. In this book, my master's research, subsequent studies, an edition of more than 30 illustrations and full original texts come together to recall various aspects involving society between the 19th and 20th centuries. Thus, the content of this page brings a complementary universe which adds even more to the book.
