Description
English: Share of the Fábrica de Faianças das Caldas da Rainha vom 30. Juni 1884; Probably the most magnificent stock certificate! Caldas da Rainha (= thermal springs of the queen) was founded already in the 15th century by the Portuguese queen Dona Lenor. Under the leadership of her husband Johann II Portugal became the leading sea and colonial power of Western Europe. Caldas da Rainha, the place where the porcelain and faience manufactory was built, is a therapeutic bath and was the favoured summer residence of the Portuguese monarchs. The Fabrica de Faiancas was founded in the year 1884 and still exists nowadays and is a great object of interest. The share certificate was designed by Raphael Bordalho-Pinheiro (1847-1905) and shows many of his favoured animal motifs. The execution of the artwork is very complex, because 11 colours were necessary for the print of the picture, whereas each single share certificate had to be printed manually.
Deutsch: Aktie der Fábrica de Faianças das Caldas da Rainha vom 30. Juni 1884; Das wohl prächtigste Historische Wertpapier! Das berühmte Schwefel-Heilbad Caldas da Rheina (= Warme Quelle der Königin) wurde bereits im 15. Jahrhundert von der portugiesischen Königin Dona Leonor gegründet. Unter Führung ihres Gatten, Johann II. wurde Portugal zur führenden See- und Kolonialmacht Westeuropas. Caldas da Rainha war die bevorzugte Sommerresidenz der portugiesischen Herrscher. 1884 wurde hier die Porzellanmanufaktur Fabrica de Faiancas gegründet. Die Aktie wurde von Raphael Bordalho-Pinheiro (1847-1905) entworfen und zeigt viele der von ihm bevorzugten Tiermotive. Die Ausführung der Vorlage ist extrem aufwändig, da für den Druck des Bildes 11 Farben benötigt wurden, wobei jede Aktie einzeln von Hand abgezogen werden musste.
