Santos Dumont\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlberto Santos Dumont (1873 - 1932) became known, above all, for being one of the first – if not the first – to take off aboard a gasoline-powered airplane. Unable to cope with his media exposure, feeling responsible for frequent airplane accidents and their use as weapons during the war, Santos Dumont suffered emotionally. He exiled himself in sanatoriums in Switzerland and France, returning to Brazil only in 1931 to live out his last days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe researcher Mr. Sergio Douglas Cavallari very kindly helped us understand this letter:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen did Santos Dumont write this letter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eI can almost guarantee it's from after World War I. In my research, I clearly concluded that there are \"two\" Santos-Dumonts: one before and one after the conflict (World War I). Even his handwriting changed, with the appearance of the \"=\" sign instead of the hyphen. (...) Many say that he started writing Santos=Dumont to value both his Portuguese-Brazilian and French origins. In my opinion, that's nonsense. He started using \"=\" instead of a hyphen, that's all, as it appears throughout the text of several letters, not just in the signature.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnother sign that it's from after World War I is him talking about his health. Several biographers say that, at that time, it was common for him to \"disappear\" from friends and gatherings due to depression. Afterwards, he would give some kind explanation, so as not to be impolite or feel guilty. In 1925, he was hospitalized at the famous Valmont clinic, near Lausanne.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho was Monsieur Del Valle, the recipient of this letter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSeveral personalities with the surnames Valle or Del Valle lived in Paris at the time. One of the most famous was the Spanish caricaturist and painter Evaristo Valle, who was exactly the same age as Santos-Dumont. The inventor was very good friends with people from the arts, including the cartoonist Sem (Georges Goursat), who was widely recognized as his best friend. The building at 53 Av. Victor Hugo also looks like it might have been a hotel or a complex of rental apartments in the past; it's very similar to several other addresses of Santos-Dumont that I've collected from his letters.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis letter, in perfect condition, helps us imagine the brilliant inventor at the end of his life, in Paris, battling depression.

The idea was to transfer the capital from Rio de Janeiro to the interior of the country, populating that region. People from all over the country, especially from the northeast, were hired to build the city, inaugurated in 1960. In this letter the architect still used Oscar Niemeyer Filho on his stationery, an indication that it was written in 1957, 1958 or 1959, when the His father was still alive and Brasília was still under construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eFirstly, this letter, a proof of Niemeyer's work methodology, provides information about the architects' hiring routine, as in the following extract from Oscar Niemeyer's biography, by Marcos Sá Corrêa:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eAt that end of the world, I needed a good conversation.

He was one of Niemeyer's main collaborators and is considered the decorator of Brasília. Bulcão's creations are now part of Brasília's landscape and heritage, especially his famous tiles with geometric shapes and his marble panels. Born in Rio de Janeiro, Athos Bulcão left the capital of Rio for the cerrado in 1958, when he was 40 years old (the time of this letter) and the federal capital was little more than an immense construction site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Finally, we observe Niemeyer's informal signature that ends his letter with a rare \"Oscar\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAccording to Brasiliana Itaú, \u003cem\u003e\"famous as an architect since the 1930s, Niemeyer signed countless sketches, often given to friends.

Amália Bulhões Cruz taught her six children to read and write. From the records we have in the letters to his wife, we see that Oswaldo Cruz frequented the theater, opera, and various shows. He had a great demand for books, as we see in his correspondence with Paul Albanel, of the firm Albanel et fils., who also sent scientific equipment and material.

Even Darwin in his time did not claim that the evolution of living beings was a progressive evolution; that is, Darwin saw evolution as change, not as improvement. The reason that probably leads Quirico Filopanti to state this is the same that leads most people of his time to accept evolution: the world would be in continuous improvement. This idea is no longer valid within science today, but it remains the reason why most people accept it. Finally, the idea that a current species descends from another current species is not accepted by today's science but is strong outside of science, as is the case with the other earlier idea. Of course, within science, what is considered are shared ancestors, more closely or more distantly.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eQuirico Filopanti was willing to consider the new ideas of his time and clearly sided with some of them, generally more in agreement with current ideas than most of his contemporaries.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNovember 2010.

Built and inaugurated 40 years before the Scala Theater, in 1740, the Regio would become, from its beginnings, the largest hall in Europe and an international reference in the segment; with famous opera premieres, the hall could accommodate 2500 privileged spectators. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLouis Poyet was the great specialist in the illustrated representation of machines between 1873 and 1910, and his workshop would have more than forty artisans, all faithful servants of the ideology conveyed by the popular magazines of the time: that of an optimistic belief in the material progress of science, a worldview entirely governed by determinism and the most absolute rationality.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eAbout the two pieces, Simone Solinas, archivist of the \u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003eTeatro Regio, says:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The larger one is a vertical section of the scenography room, as it was in the old building (1740-1936). The name Poyet is almost certainly Louis Poyet (1846-1913), and the drawings must be from before 1904, because the theater was consistently renovated at the time and the roof structure was replaced with iron beams instead of the old wood. The scenography room was placed on the top floor of the building to take advantage of natural light. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eI cannot precisely date the small, colorful drawing.

Many engravings of the Teatro Regio were published in Diderot and d'Alembert's Encyclopédie, and for that reason, it was the most sought-after theater for many decades, and a destination for grand tourists. Poyet felt the need to specify that the drawing was made in Turin, most likely to ensure fidelity to the original building.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOld documents related to great historical monuments are rare and highly sought after by the public, as they are normally preserved by public institutions or by the archivists of the institution itself.

The question of who invented the first airplane still provokes debate. The American Wright brothers have their paternity recognized in most nations. In France, for example, Clément Ader holds the honor of merit. However, if they all contributed to the history of aviation, why not share the credit for this invention? Whether it's a matter of ego or authorship, for these great geniuses, it was difficult to share the glory of their revolutionary invention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Nevertheless, the era of pioneers came to an end, and the blow was very hard for the Brazilian aviator. Dumont's frail mental state can be perceived in the letter he wrote to his friend Tissandier, the famous inventor of engines, in 1927. By that time, our father of aviation was already in a rehabilitation clinic in Valmont, Switzerland, where he spent several years treating his psychiatric condition. In the letter, Dumont speaks of his exhaustion, and that despite being only 54 years old, he feels like a 70-year-old man, no longer having the energy for activities that previously brought him pleasure. As for the future, I don't know what to do, he said in his letters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e After years of hard work that drained his health, aviation was becoming popular, and with it, the exclusivity of its creators was disappearing. Other events further undermined the creator's self-esteem; he had to admit that the Wright brothers were the creators of the first airplane, and, moreover, he saw his great invention being used for military purposes of mass destruction in the First World War. Perhaps for this reason, Dumont, as he himself states in his letter, no longer thought of living in a big city; he was tired of the hustle and bustle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Although the story doesn't have the happiest of endings, it is certainly a lesson. Dumont was a genius who revolutionized the world, but he couldn't control his thoughts. Whether or not he was the sole inventor of the airplane, his contribution is undeniably part of the entire human effort to fly, and it is as part of a society, not as isolated individuals, that we evolve. What would Dumont say if he knew that his invention was fundamental in spreading the health crisis we are experiencing today? But also, how many hugs, encounters, and moments of happiness has aviation brought to our lives?

But there was a time when the leather seats of aircraft exuded a scent of novelty, and venturing through the skies required a lot of courage. In those distant years, who would have thought that it was a Frenchman who gave wings to Brazil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis name was Jean Mermoz (1901 - 1936), and although he now names countless schools, his adventures were far from academic benches. In fact, in 1920, at the age of 19, Mermoz failed the university entrance exam, and only for that reason enlisted to be an army aviator. However, military discipline did not appeal to him, and, four years later, he left the army and went to seek work in civil aviation. Although talented, Mermoz was almost not hired by Latécoère Airlines in 1924, since, in his admission test, his acrobatics displeased the company's rigorous director, Didier Daurat. However, after a small correction, Mermoz performed a normal and perfect flight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom then on, the pilot began working as a mailman of the skies and accumulating adventure stories. At the beginning of his career, Mermoz flew over a vast part of the African continent, where, in 1926, he suffered an accident, crashed over the Sahara, and was taken hostage by a group of Tuareg rebels. Luckily, he managed to escape. But Latécoère had plans for South America, and Mermoz soon became head pilot in the region. In one of his flights in the south of the continent, the engine failed, and the pilot had to land in the middle of the Andes Mountains. He stayed there for 50 hours trying to fix the engine until he had the idea of pushing the plane off a cliff to gain momentum to fly. It's almost impossible to believe that the plan worked!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut Mermoz's greatest adventure was yet to come: to establish the connection between Europe and South America, it was necessary to fly non-stop. Thus, Mermoz made the first non-stop transatlantic airmail journey in history! A flight of more than 21 hours between Senegal and Natal, Brazil.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince then, the French pilot became a distinguished visitor. He always returned to Natal, where he made friends and even lived in his own house. There, Mermoz rested from his long flights, played tennis, and swam in Natal's beautiful beaches. His plane, the Croix-du-Sud, became a beloved acquaintance in the city. As we can see in the unpublished photograph from 1934 which shows the prestigious plane shortly before taking off from Natal. The photo was probably taken by one of the crew members, as written on the back: \"Croix-du-Sud moored in the river, the mechanic performs a final inspection.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnfortunately, in 1936, Mermoz disappeared in this same plane, on a flight towards Natal. The Croix-du-Sud did not withstand the journey and crashed into the sea; none of its crew members were found. Years later, it was discovered that Mermoz's plane had been sabotaged by the Uruguayan Nazi Party. Although he left us very young, Mermoz became unforgettable; his stories and adventures inspire dreams, and his achievements began to connect Brazil to the rest of the world. This photograph is, therefore, in many respects, historical.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glórias | Autógrafos e Manuscritos Raros","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37266155831455,"sku":"342BAN1","price":0.0,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1945\/8243\/products\/fotografia-croix-du-sud-natal-brasil-jean-mermoz-1.jpg?v=1682365898"},{"product_id":"autografos-dos-pioneiros-da-internet","title":"Autographs of internet pioneers","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis item is no longer available.

It's a terrifying thought, isn't it? A world without the internet is almost inconceivable. We open our eyes every morning and see news, send messages, watch videos; no matter what we do, we live connected. Especially now, in times of social isolation, the internet has become a tool for connecting with our loved ones. However, as incredible as it may seem, there was a world before the Web. And it wasn't that long ago; a few decades ago, the internet wasn't even a dream for the most ambitious minds, until some people made history by building an invisible bridge of networks that changed the world. Do you know who they are?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe name Robert Kahn might not be very familiar; you might even think this 81-year-old gentleman is a kind elder who doesn't know how to turn on a computer. However, this American computer scientist was one of the pioneers in the development of the World Wide Web. Robert was responsible for creating TCP (Transmission Control Protocol). Do you know the acronym? It refers to one of the communication protocols that support the global internet network. And if you didn't know that, it's good to let go of the idea that only young people know how to use the network.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut the internet is a child of different parents, and another of its fathers can be considered \u003ca title=\"autografo de vinton cerf\" href=\"https:\/\/glorias.com.br\/blogs\/colecao-de-sofia\/autografo-e-dedicatoria-de-vinton-cerf-2011?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=9db4f23fa\u0026amp;_ss=r\"\u003eVinton Cerf\u003c\/a\u003e. The mathematician, also from the United States, initiated the development of IP, an interconnection protocol without which we could not access the network. In addition to Tim Berners-Lee, none other than the creator of the World Wide Web. The British physicist built the first website to go online, way back in 1991, which explained how the tool itself worked. Another important name is Leonard Kleinrock, an American engineer and computer scientist who made numerous contributions in the field of computer networks, in addition to working on the development of Arpanet, the precursor to what is now known as the Internet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, the creation of the network also featured important female contributions, such as Radia Perlman, known as \"the mother of the internet.\" The American computer scientist created the Spanning Tree Protocol, which allows network bridges to operate.

Many painters born in Brazilian lands have also gained prominence around the globe, and even in architecture, national names are studied in universities worldwide. However, not everyone knows that, also in design, Brazilian artists have worldwide renown. This is the case of Sérgio Rodrigues, a designer whose pieces were chosen by Lúcio Costa to furnish nothing less than Brasília. Rodrigues also won awards in several countries and transformed the concept of design of his time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn in Rio de Janeiro in 1927, at the age of 20, Sérgio entered the architecture faculty of the University of Brazil (FNA), in the capital of Rio de Janeiro. The prodigious student began working as an assistant professor even before finishing his degree, and, in 1951, he received an invitation to participate in the elaboration of the project for the Civic Center of Curitiba, which led him to move to the city where he created \"Móveis Artesanal Paranaense\". It was the beginning of his work focused on interior architecture design, which would mark his career from that moment on. In the subsequent years, Sérgio delved into the art of furniture and met renowned European designers who influenced the elegance of his lines without, however, ever moving him away from his Brazilian roots.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSérgio developed a unique style that, besides earning countless awards, created a national identity, strongly influenced by modernism. Brazilianness was highlighted not only in his designs, but in the choice of traditionally local materials, such as leather, straw, and wood, which exalted Brazilian culture from its indigenous origins. The blend of international and indigenous trends can be seen in the visual study done by Sérgio, where a photo and a drawing complement each other, highlighting traditional elements and ocher tones typical of local materials.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe most famous work of this great artist is the \"Mole armchair\", made of leather and wood. Its innovations in fitting and upholstery are a reference in the industry to this day, and the original armchair is part of the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. With a variation of this design, Sérgio received the first prize in the Concorso Internazionale del Mobile, in Cantù, Italy, a moment that boosted his international career. Still, Rodrigues never forgot Brazil, and the proof of this is that years later he opened a studio in Rio de Janeiro with the aim of commercializing furniture at affordable prices, bringing design within reach of the population.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHere we have an illustration by a great Brazilian name who \u003cspan color=\"#202122\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"2\"\u003epropelled Brazilian art and culture to a prominent position within the international scene.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glórias | Autógrafos e Manuscritos Raros","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40045797114015,"sku":"272LEI51","price":0.0,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1945\/8243\/products\/desenho-estudo-sergio-rodrigues.jpg?v=1682367291"}],"url":"https:\/\/glorias.com.br\/en\/collections\/autografos-ciencia-e-tecnologia.oembed?page=5","provider":"Glórias | Autógrafos e Manuscritos Raros","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
