In addition to writing poetry and acting, he was at times a photographer, merchant and impresario, among other pursuits. As a youth he was bohemian, traveled to Brazil, where he establish himself as a photographer in Pará, but always acting and writing poetry. He returned to Lisbon, continuing to act, write poetry, and work as a photographer.Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro (1846-1905), whose name is sometimes written Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro by pedantic present day cataloguers, is generally considered the greatest ever Portuguese caricaturist, as well as the first Portuguese comics creator. His fame as a caricaturist led the Illustrated London News to become one of his collaborators. There is a museum in Lisbon of his name dedicated to his life and works. Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro was a disciple of his father, the painter Manuel Maria Bordallo Pinheiro. His brother was the painter Columbano Bordallo Pinheiro.Bordallo Pinheiro created the cartoon character Zé Povinho (literal translation: "Joe Public", "Joe Everyman", "Joe Shmoe", or "John Doe"), a Portuguese every man, portrayed as a poor peasant. Zé Povinho became, and still is, an iconic symbol, the most popular character in Portugal. The first appearance of Zé Povinho was on 22 May 1875, in A Lanterna Mágica magazine, although that appearance did not attribute him with a name. He was named in the 6 December 1875 issue of the same magazine. In 1885, Raphael Bordallo Pinheiro founded a ceramics factory in Caldas da Rainha, where he created many of the pottery designs for which this city is known. The factory is still in business. Bordallo Pinheiro was devoted to the production of ceramic pieces, which in his hands quickly acquired an original character.*** Avila-Perez 5015 & 8901: calling for ii, 155, (1) pp. and 26 plates.
