It addresses the importance of this materiality for the writing of the History of Education. It discusses its graphic characteristics and circulation processes. The correspondence between the writers, António Feliciano de Castilho and Luiz Filipe Leite with the Brazilian teachers, where this method was implemented, is taken as a reference. It is concluded that this source makes it possible to understand the relationships between Portuguese and Brazilian educators in the 19th century.
