"The Bertrand bookshop emerged in Portugal in 1732 in Chiado, founded by Pedro Faure, French, married to Magdalena Bonnardel Brunier and two married daughters with two Frenchmen who have settled in Lisbon. Madalena married João José Bertrand Martinho and Catherina married to Bertrand.
When given the death of Pedro Faure, on March 11, 1753, the company "Faure & Irmãos Bertrand" is renamed just "Irmãos Bertrand".
