 There is disagreement over whether or not a printing press existed in Brazil on the occasion of the arrival of the royal family.Reportedly, a press with movable type was finally brought to Brazil by the government itself, which had earlier been forbidden so vehemently.António de Araújo e Azevedo, then Foreign Minister and later Count of Barca, brought and had installed the press in Rio de Janeiro, on the ground floor of his own home, 44 Rua do Passeio.
