In 1949, Grande Otelo, Jorge Dória, and the team of "Também Somos Irmãos" dedicated their shooting script to actor Aguinaldo Camargo, a milestone in Brazilian cinema for confronting racism.

This is the shooting script for the film "Também Somos Irmãos," produced by Atlântida Cinematográfica in 1949, directed by José Carlos Burle, with a screenplay by Alinor Azevedo and cinematography by Edgar Brasil. It belonged to Aguinaldo de Oliveira Camargo, the film's lead actor, who hand-annotated the pages with cues for intonation, pauses, and breathing to prepare for his role. At the end of filming, between May and June 1949, seven members of the production left dedications and signatures in the script: Grande Otelo, Jorge Dória, Vera Nunes, Agnaldo Rayol, director José Carlos Burle, who salutes the "great actor and friend," screenwriter Alinor Azevedo, and Edgar Brasil, who recalls the good camaraderie during filming. After the actor's death, the piece was kept by his widow, Dona Rosa, and later passed down directly through the family.

"Também Somos Irmãos" is considered one of the first Brazilian films to openly address racial prejudice in an era dominated by *chanchadas* (musical comedies). Aguinaldo Camargo, co-founder of the Black Experimental Theater alongside Abdias Nascimento, was a pioneer in establishing the black actor in Brazilian theater and cinema before his untimely death in 1952, at the age of 33. This script brings together in a single document the memory of his artistic preparation and the tributes of great names of the time, such as Grande Otelo, one of the greatest actors in Brazil's history, and Edgar Brasil, master cinematographer of "Limite." Working documents from actors of this generation are extremely rare, and even more so with a direct and continuous chain of family ownership.

The authenticity was evaluated by expert Mathias Meyer, a member of the ILAB, at the maximum G5 level of the Glórias Scale, "Exceptionally supported authenticity."

It is also possible to pay in up to 10 installments via Pix; in this case, shipping will be carried out after the full payment of the purchase.

Can I ask for a discount?

We offer a 3% discount for payments made in full (via Pix or bank transfer) or the option to pay in up to 3 interest-free installments by credit card. Furthermore, the prices of our pieces are carefully determined based on international market supply and demand, the specific characteristics of each item, and sales results of similar pieces. For this reason, we typically do not grant additional discounts. However, if you wish to purchase multiple pieces or make an exceptionally high-value purchase, we would be pleased to consider a special commercial arrangement.

How is delivery made? What will I receive?

Delivery time varies from approximately 1 to 10 business days, depending on the recipient's location. In Brazil, we primarily use SEDEX, and for international shipments, FedEx. The document is placed in an elegant laid paper folder and sent in completely discreet packaging.

What warranties come with the items?

All items sold by Glórias have a lifetime guarantee against any potential certification errors, provided that such an error is subsequently demonstrated and confirmed by Mathias Meyer. In this scenario, the buyer will be fully reimbursed. To date, this situation has never occurred. The guarantee does not cover natural changes or damage caused by improper storage, exposure to light, humidity, insects, or any other external factor that may compromise the conservation of the item or the ink.

Can I resell this piece in the future?

Yes. Should you wish to sell your piece in the future, please contact us. We will be happy to guide you and help you find a new collector.

How can I add value to my collection?

If your goal is to go beyond an isolated purchase, the ideal is to build a coherent collection around a theme, a personality, or a historical period, such as aviation pioneers, women who made history, love letters, old photographs of Rio de Janeiro, Oscar Niemeyer, Pelé, or Ayrton Senna. Mathias Meyer can guide you in forming a consistent collection, according to your interests, objectives, and budget.

How should I store my document or autograph?

To preserve your document in the best condition, we recommend against laminating it or keeping it permanently framed, as paper needs to breathe and prolonged exposure to light can accelerate its deterioration. Ideally, store it in a dry, dark, and clean place, protected from humidity, extreme temperatures, dust, and insects, ensuring its preservation for many decades.

Why aren't these pieces in museums?

Throughout history, much of the world's documentary heritage has been preserved thanks to private collectors and dealers. These enthusiasts of historical documents play a fundamental role in the discovery, study, and preservation of pieces that can later be loaned, donated, or sold to museums and other institutions. In Brazil, where many museums have limited financial resources and staff, this collaboration is even more important. Glórias maintains relationships with public institutions, museums, and researchers, both in Brazil and abroad, sharing discoveries, knowledge, and, in some cases, documents for exhibitions.

Can I offer you a part to buy?

Yes, send photos and information about the item: we can make a purchase offer or, if you prefer, appraise and certify the item for you to sell at auction, to another professional, to a private individual, or through us.

Where do the parts sold by Glórias come from?

Behind every rare document lies a unique trajectory, which makes collecting a fascinating way to preserve and transmit history. Most of the pieces offered by Glórias were inherited by families who contacted us, while others were acquired at auctions, where they were misidentified or undervalued, or came from collectors, antique dealers, or autograph document merchants.
