Martins, Fernanda de O. ; Lima, Edna Cunha ; Lima, Guilherme Cunha

Resumo:

Printing authorization in Brazil were granted only after the arrival of the Portuguese royal family in 1808, with the installation of the Royal Press in Rio de Janeiro. From then on, the process of installing private printing workshops began in various parts of the country, especially after 1820, with the end of previous censorship in the period leading up to Brazil’s independence. According to Rizzini (1945, p. 322), the printing shos that operated in the country before the independence were: that of Manoel António da Silva Serva, in Bahia, in 1811; that of Ricardo Rodrigues Castanho, in 1815 Recife, which only worked in 1817; the one installed in Maranhão by Governor Bernardo Silveira in 1821; and, that same year, the one set up by Daniel Garção de Melo in Belém do Pará; and two 

in Villa Rica, the Patrícia and the Provincial (Rizzini, 1945: 322).
