A Paris lithograph by E. Desmaison, dated 1850, presents Antonio Feliciano de Castilho, the Portuguese poet and translator who lived from 1800 to 1875. Castilho lost his sight as a boy, yet he became one of the most productive literary figures of his country, best known for his verse translations of Ovid. A portrait made in Paris reflects the cultural ties between Lisbon and the French capital, where printmakers produced many likenesses of European writers for a literate public. The record's details are not fully verified, so the date and attribution are best read as the catalog's working information.
