Artigo: As Cartas de Jogar e Sinais dos Expostos

Digital

Mariana, Maria José, Antónia, Caetano, Amada, Ernesto, Constantino, Josefa Henriqueta, Alfredo, Maria and Tecla. Eleven children born between 1805 and 1863. Most did not live a year. However, they carried with them signs and messages full of hope of a return home. Left in the circle of those exposed, these eleven children had in common cards from any deck, attached to swaddling clothes. Identification appendices for future recognition, simple marks with whimsical cutouts.
