Watercolours of Sintra, [WALLINGON, E [lizabeth]. -Sketches-19th century (ca. 1850-1870).-29 watercolours, 6 drawings, 1 lithograph, 1 manuscript map. - 24x34 cm.- E., An album consisting of 29 watercolours, 6 drawings, 1 lithography and 1 manuscript map, organized by the author (E. Wallington) and offered to her son George, who probably was British naval officer and died in a shipwreck in the South China Sea. The guard projection includes the following handwritten inscription unsigned or dated: My Album. This book is very dear to me: it was compiled by me for my own beloved George, to take to sea with him, to serve him as a remembrance of places, and many very happy days we have spent together. The following are the watercolours (and drawings) 23 of which represent aspects of Sintra where the Wallington family have resided at the beginning of the second half of the 19th century. None of the watercolours are dated or signed, but almost all of them include captions. However, two of the drawings that represent the Wallington family residence in the United Kingdom, dates from 1851 and 1870. In the end, a few small drawings unrelated to Sintra and a manuscript map of the South China Sea where allegedly George Wallington has shipwrecked. The watercolours, worked with some ingenuity, are pasted in the album leaves (dim. 21x30 cm. maximum), one per leaf (except two smaller of the Peninha, that are on the same sheet). Some acidity. Binding of the time, with leather spine slightly fatigued
