Alberto Cutileiro was the first naval painter at the Portuguese Navy Museum. For many years he drew engravings and naval maps, in the style of bygone eras, to be used as illustrations for exhibitions and books on the Portuguese "Discoveries".

This work of military art is part of the collection of this commander of Portuguese military iconography, which describes the richness of the traditions of the Portuguese navy, dating back to the 15th century of the maritime epic of the voyages of the kingdom of Portugal, from where the Portuguese at that time began a great global exchange project in the 4 corners of the world, until the most recent days of the 20th century.

The richness of the uniforms is exuberant, and the wealth was displayed by the officers, at the great Portuguese Empire.

The book has several historical sources that serve as a basis for the narrative and shows original drawings and graphic prints from the period, which illustrate the usefulness of this work for historians, studants and lovers of the military costume of the navy.

The Count of Lippe, based on his experience, concluded that it could only be successful if:

     Total involvement of political power in this transformation. The latter must understand the need for change, make resources available and, above all, monitor the process of change, already foreseeing the need for the Armed Forces to be subordinated to political power.
     The transformation of the armed forces must be felt and carried out throughout the organization's hierarchy, particularly in its superior structure, mainly the ability to lead and motivate the entire chain of command.
     In short, to effect military change, three sources are essential: cultural norms, policy and strategy, and new technologies.

He drafted regulations on:

     Personnel: Regionalization of recruitment
     Justice: Maintaining discipline in the ranks is one of his main concerns, with the concept of military forum being introduced for the first time.
     Leadership: The Count definitively puts an end to promotions by adopting criteria of competence and merit. He becomes noble because he is an officer and there are no longer officers just because they are noble.
     Teaching: he creates the royal college of nobles, as well as libraries in all military units. As he stated – reading serves to form the military spirit and provide one with ideas: it enriches oneself with the insights and experience of others.
     Training: Determines the execution of periodic military maneuvers, with the aim of teaching and practicing evolutions and implementing new tactics. It ensures that political power, represented by the king and the prime minister, is present.
     Technology: Restores several fortresses and the construction of Forte da Graça in Elvas completed the defensive system.
