Catalogue of the exhibition inaugurated on July 5, 1952, in the new building of the Ministry of Finance, on Avenida Infante D. Henrique in Lisbon, on the occasion of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the State Secretariat for Finance Affairs (1801-1951) and the twentieth anniversary of Oliveira Salazar's investiture as Minister of Finance. The inauguration also marked the opening of the monumental staircase and the enclosed interior courtyard of the building, a work by the architect Pardal Monteiro, decorated with bas-reliefs by Leopoldo de Almeida and sculptures by Álvaro de Brée. This work brings together an extensive historical account of the Public Treasury services from pre-1801 times – going back to the old royal customs house and the Casa dos Contos (House of Accounts) – followed by a descriptive catalog of the items exhibited by the various departments of the Ministry (customs, taxes, accounting, Public Credit Board, geographical and cadastral services, National Institute of Statistics, Mint) and a bibliography. Illustrated with reproductions of historical documents, instruments and objects, including old customs machinery, weights and measures standards and a miniature of a royal galley. A reference document for Portuguese institutional and administrative history. Highly regarded. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
