This summer the municipality of Jávea is paying tribute to the Lambert family and the Cirne and Amjasa Cultural Foundation have wanted to join this project. Both entities have presented special publications to contribute to the dissemination of the artistic legacy of this family that arrived in Jávea in 1920.

The Cirne Foundation has been responsible for editing a package with ten postcards that are illustrated with the drawings of André Lambert Sr. The drawings of this prestigious architect capture general views of the Xàbia of the early twentieth century, its country houses, farms or the chapel of Calvary among others. Antoni Espinós, vice president of the Foundation has affirmed that it is a "stunningly beautiful legacy"which was already published in 1945 by the agricultural cooperative of Xàbia. The postcards are for sale for 5 euros in the rooms where the exhibition" Xàbia i Els Lambert "is exhibited and in the tourist offices.

Whoever buys these postcards or the catalog on the exhibition that the City Council has published will be presented with a facsimile of the epistolary article that Andrés Lambert Jr. wrote for the cultural magazine "Janus" about the town of Xàbia and that has been edited by Amjasa. Josep Lluís Henarejos, CEO of the municipal company, has emphasized the interest of the public company in contributing to the local culture. In addition, this article has also been made available to the departments of classical languages ​​of the region for students to work on.
