Aquilino Ribeiro (Carregal da Tabosa, Beira Alta, 1885-Lisboa, 1963) is considered one of the best twentieth-century Portuguese novelists: in 1960, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize. Ribeiro was politically active in the Republican cause from 1907 until the fall of the monarchy in 1910. He was imprisoned in November 1907, but escaped in January 1908. He lived clandestinely in Lisbon, then went into exile in Paris, where he entered the Faculty of Letters at the Sorbonne in 1910. As librarian and conservator of the Biblioteca Nacional de Lisboa from 1919 until 1927, he associated with Raul Proença and Jaime Cortesão of the "Grupo da Biblioteca". Ribeiro was one of the founders of the important review Seara nova (1921). From 1927 to 1932 he participated in several revolts, was imprisoned, escaped, and went into exile in Paris, the French Basque country, and Galicia; he also lived in Portugal clandestinely. In 1956, he founded and became the first president of the Sociedade Portuguesa de Escritores. Ribeiro was involved in the opposition to António de Oliveira Salazar and the Estado Novo. Several of his books were censored.Provenance: Acúrcio Pereira (1891-1977) was considered the dean of Portuguese journalists; he wrote for practically every daily newspaper published in Lisbon and Porto during the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, as well as for literary reviews and magazines. In 1911 he joined the Diário de notícias, then headed by Alfredo da Cunha, rising rapidly from reporter to important editorial positions, serving 27 years as editor-in-chief. In addition to several books on diverse subjects, he collaborated on a number of theatrical pieces. See Grande enciclopédia XXI, 110; Actualização IX, 187.

Luis de Abreu Alarcão de Oliveira Guimarães (1900-1998) also wrote many pieces for the theater, and was a lawyer and poet. His first literary work, a book of poems entitled Bonecas que amam, appeared in 1921. Between 1937 and 1940 he abandoned his juridical career to devote himself entirely to letters.Provenance: Maria Archer (1899-1982), spent her childhood and young adult years in Moçambique (1910-1913 and 1921-1926), Guiné (1916-1918), and Angola (1930-1934). Journalist, author of fiction, and playwright, she lectured in Portugal on Portuguese Africa. Her writing is marked by the courage with which she depicts women at a time when to do so was not politically correct. She was a fierce opponent of the Salazar regime, spending 1954-1974 in forced exile in Brazil, returning to Portugal in 1977 to die five years later, ignored and in misery.*** On the author, see Grande enciclopedia XIX, 405 and Rebello, 100 anos de teatro português pp. 82-83.

He went on to work for many magazines and newspapers in Portugal and is regarded as Portugal's most well known and accomplished photographer.

Portugal would continue under authoritarian rule until the Carnation Revolution of April 1974. Gageiro, like Henri Cartier-Bresson and other photo-journalists of his generation, worked almost exclusively in black & white.
