Eduardo López Rivas (September 10, 1850 - July 22, 1913) was a Venezuelan editor and journalist. He founded and directed several Venezuelan publications throughout his life, among them the newspaper Diario El Fonógrafo and the magazine El Zulia ilustrado. He was the founder and owner of a Venezuelan editorial house, Imprenta Americana, the first publishing house to print photographs in Venezuelan periodical publications. ==Biography== Eduardo López Rivas was born in Maracaibo, Venezuela, on September 15, 1850. His mother was Encarnación Rivas and his father was Eduardo López de Triana y Espina, one of the founding members of the Great Liberal Party of Venezuela.〔Nagel Von Jess, Kurt, ''Algunas familias maracaiberas'' (Some Maracaibo families), University of Zulia press, Maracaibo, Venezuela, 1989.〕 He studied at ''Colegio Federal del Zulia'' until the age of fifteen, when he was sent by his parents to Marseille, France, to continue his education. The years he lived in France made him a keen supporter of the ideals of freedom of the French Republic.〔Tarre Murzi, Alfredo, ''Biografía de Maracaibo'' (Maracaibo biography), Ed. Bodini S.A., Barcelona, Spain, 1983.〕 When he returned to Venezuela he started to work as a teacher of languages and professional drawing, but the autocratic government of president Antonio Guzmán Blanco motivated him to do something for freedom. This fact led him to start his career as a journalist, inspired by the ideas he had acquired in France.〔Olivares, Antonógenes, ''Siluetas ilustres del Zulia'' (Sillhouettes illustrious of Zulia), Government of Zulia State press, Maracaibo, Venezuela, 1963, Volume II.〕 He married Carmen Bustamante, niece of pioneer Venezuelan physician Francisco Eugenio Bustamante and a descendant of General Rafael Urdaneta. The couple had six children, among them journalists Eduardo López Bustamante, Carlos López Bustamante and Teresa López Bustamante. Some years after his wife died, he married Carmen López Castro. They had two children.〔Nagel Von Jess, Kurt, ''Algunas familias maracaiberas'' (Some Maracaibo families), University of Zulia press, Maracaibo, Venezuela, 1989〕 He died at age 63 in Maracaibo, Venezuela, on July 22, 1913.〔Nagel Von Jess, Kurt, ''Algunas familias maracaiberas'' (Some Maracaibo families), University of Zulia Press, Maracaibo, Venezuela, 1989.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eduardo López Rivas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
