Guerra Júnior (Manuel José Júlio)
Original title: Guerra Júnior. (Manuel José Júlio)
Funchal-born practical civil engineer and amateur photographer (b. 1845), author of a topographical dictionary for engineers.
He was the son of the engineering officer Manuel José Júlio Guerra and was born in Funchal in 1845. Although he did not complete the course in civil engineering, he devoted himself to that field and carried out several works that were well regarded. He wrote the Diccionario Topographico para uso dos engenheiros civis e seus auxiliares, of which he published only the first part, in 1872. He was a distinguished amateur photographer and made several improvements in that art. For his work he was deservedly awarded a grade of the Order of St James.
