Abstract

The transition from the 19th to the 20th century in Portugal, roughly between 1875 and 1925, marks the emergence of a mass culture, period that can be called civilization of printing in the context of growth and modernization of urban environments. In these, changes, novelties and economic and social diversities, along with technological advances, have boosted the growth and importance of printed objects in the circulation of culture, and it is around them that one can identify the complexity in the process of creating conditions to reading access and differentiated modes of culture appropriation, as well as the identification of social environments in which these conditions were operated.
