First edition (probably second issue). There is no knowledge of a full set of prints stamped on the artist’s lifetime. The lot includes the album published in 1864 by the Royal Academy of Noble Arts of San Fernando, soon after acquiring the respective plates, containing 18 proofs of the engravings hitherto known, numbered 1-18, a print run of 300 copies, probably of the second issue. It features a lithographed frontispiece with the watermark J. G. O. and apparently later added cellophane separators. The plates, in etching and aquatint, sometimes with touches of dry-point, have no date. To these 18 engravings, 4 other plates are added, which were discovered some years later in the possession of the painter Eugenio Lucas. These extra proofs came to be published by François Liénard in 1877 in the French magazine L’Art. The collation of the two volumes of the magazine is as follows: Troisième année, tome Ier (tome VIII de la collection): [4], 297, [2, 1 br.] p.: il., [19] engravings. Troisième année, tome II (tome IX de la collection): [4], 324 p.: il., [25] engravings. The unprecedented four prints by Goya, all included in the article titled Goya aquafortiste, written by Charles Yriarte, in Volume IX (troisième année, volume II), have the following titles: [19] Lluvia de toros = Pluie de Taureax (p. 6/7); [20] Otras leyes por el pueblo = Autres lois pour le peuple (p. 40/41); [21] ¡ Qué guerrero ! = Quel guerrier [p. 55/56]; [22] Una reina del circo = Une reine du Cirque [p. 82/83]. At the beginning of this article was also published a self-portrait of the artist, engraved by F. Milius. Print 18, and last in the album, a little worn, with slight waterstains in the outer and lower margin. Occasional light brownning and foxing. Modest binding, with leather spine, without title-piece. The first three leaves of the magazine with some tears, but no paper missing. Moreover, the entire volume is very clean with only very light brownning on the prints. Contemporary half-morocco binding, corners slightly worn. Gilt initials H.L. surmounted by a Count’s crown at top of spine. Palau, 106 558 e 106 568 (79, 80, 81 e 82). Augusto L. Mayer (Francisco de Goya), p. 120-123 e 276-281 (V, no 1 a 22). Tomás Harris (Goya: engravings and lithographs), p. 193-198 e fig. 248 a 269.
