Abstract

BOAVIDA, Carlos. A photo set of property plaques of the All-Saints Royal Hospital in the Mac-Bride collection. Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal [online]. 2019, vol.ser2, n.11, pp.83-101. ISSN 2183-3176.

Between the 16th and 18^th centuries, the All-Saints Royal Hospital was the most important medical, surgical and assistance institution in Lisbon. Its general characteristics, as well as the policies that motivated its creation and deactivation, are well known to historians who have considered the subject, but also to all those interested in the history of Lisbon, particularly about the 1755 Earthquake, a cataclysm that greatly damaged the famous building, which was demolished a few years later. A number of buildings were part of the estate of the Royal Hospital, which came into its possession in various forms. In each, there was a small plaque with the monogram of that institution by the door. Several of these plaques survived to our days, and were registered by photographer Eduardo Portugal in 1945, by request of Alberto Mac-Bride, a doctor-surgeon and olisipograph, interested in the history of the Royal Hospital of All Saints.
