About the author

The Sociedade de Geografia de Lisboa is a Portuguese scientific society based in Lisbon. Sources available here describe it as having been founded in 1875 with the goal of promoting geography and related sciences in Portugal.

Over time, it became an important cultural and scholarly institution, linked not only to geographic study but also to debates about exploration, colonial history, and Portugal’s place in the wider world. Its name is often given in English as the Lisbon Geographic Society.

Because the available sources in this session are limited, I’ve kept this overview to details that could be confirmed directly.
