Carlos de Lima Mayer (11 February 1846 – 28 February 1910) was a medical doctor, businessman and intellectual who belonged to the group of late 19th-century Portuguese, known as Life's Vanquished.
Mayer was born on 11 February 1846, in Santos-o-Velho, Lisbon. His parents were António Mayer and Maria Clementina de Lima. His brother was Adolfo de Lima Mayer, who built the Palacete Mayer in the centre of Lisbon, which later became the Spanish Embassy, and whose land became a major entertainment centre in Lisbon, known as Parque Mayer. Carlos Mayer married Amélia da Veiga Araújo. Their daughter was Veva de Lima, an eccentric socialite who ran literary salons, and their granddaughter was Maria Ulrich, a pioneering educationalist in Portugal.[1][2]
Education
Mayer attended the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Coimbra, followed by the Medical-Surgical School of Lisbon, finishing his medical studies in Belgium and France.[3]
