Abstract: The Francisco Valença papers contain the work of the acclaimed Portuguese caricaturist who was most active between 1905 and
1958. Contents of the collection include letters received, unpublished manuscripts, original caricatures and comics, drawings
and studies, printed matter and personal documents of Valença. Correspondence comprises letters from Portuguese intellectuals,
politicians and modernist artist's groups. Manuscripts include a bibliography, records of artwork and writings on other artists.
His artwork consists mostly of original pen and ink caricatures.
Language of Material: Collection material is in Portuguese.
Scope and Content of Collection
The collection contains the substantial correspondence, manuscripts and caricatures that span Valença's fruitful and politically
active career. His correspondence is comprised of 500 letters received from correspondents such as Manuel Aníbal da Costa
Monterroso, Tomás Júlio Leal da Câmara and Artur Ernesto Santa Cruz de Magalhães, as well as other artists, poets, journalists,
editors and museum directors for whom he worked. The letters represented in the collection offer an extensive overview of
the artist's network in times of political change and press censorship.
Manuscript material in the collection includes unpublished manuscripts by Valença such as commentaries on his own life and
work, manuscripts on the work of Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, a manuscript on the early modernist group
Group d'Aguia, and unpublished issues of the satiric journals
O Garonga and
Pcht!.
Original caricatures by Valença include 1200 mostly pen and ink sketches (some colored), 300 smaller pencil sketches, and
11 watercolor studies done in the studio of José Malhôa. Printed material designed by Valença such as menus, theater programs
and posters are also included. The caricatures reflect the epic political shifts that occured during Valença's professional
career documenting the governments of Don Carlos and Salazar as well as the events of the times, World War I, World War II
and the period of Fascism.

Biographical/Historical Note
Francisco de Paula Valença (Calino) (1882-1962), was born in Lisbon and is best known for his caricature drawings and his
work as a publisher and draftsman. He is considered the most important Portuguese caricaturist of his time. He attended courses
at the Sociedade Nacional de Bellas Artes in Lisbon in 1902 to 1903 and subsequently he worked at the studio of José Malôha.
Valença founded several popular satirical newspapers including
O Chinelo,
Varões Assinalados (which was published during the revolutionary atmosphere of the New Republic in 1909),
Salão Cómico and
O Moscardo. Valença frequently collaborated with Carlos Simões, André Brun and other popular humor writers from the same period.
Valença's caricatures were regularly published in Portuguese journals, reviews and newspapers, especially those he helped
to found, but his work was also published and appreciated internationally, such as in
Rire and
Boletin Fermé. Valença also had a large oeuvre of work published in books including the
Catálogos Cómicos (1914-1919 and 1923-1924) at the annual exhibition of the Society of Fine Arts in Lisbon and many others.
In 1912 he assimilated with Pró Patria - Grupo de Propaganda e de Educação Civica and also became a member of the Sociedade
de Humoristas Portugueses, a group of political and anticlerical artists. Valença's most fruitful period of productivity was
from 1926 to 1958 and is well represented by his collaboration with
Sempre Fixe and his drafts for the
Museu Etnológico Dr. Leite Vasconcelos.
