Satirical publication, very rare, published in the context of the 70's generation and shortly after the very famous Farpas by Ramalho Ortigão, a personality greatly admired by the author of these pamphlets. Urbano Loureiro (1845-1880) was a pharmacist, born in the city of Porto, but after seeing his medical course frustrated due to his illness, he dedicated himself to journalism and satirical writing. He wrote for Samalek and Diário da Tarde, later publishing other works such as Bocage, Gafanhotos, Tam-Tam or this Ortigões. His many writings reveal an aggressive polemicist, dealing with varied themes of national politics. Dedicated to Ramalho Ortigão, “his former master of French and current editor of Farpas, as a grateful memory of his past cakes and a lot of consideration for his modern writings”, the work was born without a program, only with the aim of bringing Portugal closer to the societies modern European, cosmopolitan and anti-clerical and using satire on the Porto press. Very rare.
