LANDMANN, George.- Historical, military and picturesque observations on Portugal, illustrated by seventy-five coloured plates, including authentic plans of the sieges and battles fought in the Peninsula during the late war.- London: T. Cadell and W. Davies, 1818.- 2 vols.: il.; 37 cm.- E.
The author (1779-1854) was a lieutenant colonel in the British Army, with equal military rank in the Spanish Engineering Corps. The first volume aims to provide an overview of the history of Portugal, while the second seeks to convey a wide range of local information that may be useful, on the one hand, for military purposes, and on the other, to travelers and other readers. . The edition can be considered as one of the largest typographic companies, in its style and one of the most beautiful books in the foreign bibliography on Portugal, in the 19th century. The first volume (XIV, 607 p.) is illustrated with four hand-coloured watercolours, representing as many degrees of torture by the Inquisition, two numismatic engravings and 14 watercolour maps and plans of cities and troop movements. The second volume (XVI, 203 p.) includes another 55 beautiful aquatints from Portuguese localities, as well as a double engraving of Alcácer do Sal, not registered in the index, but referred to by Tooley as nº 25. All engravings are hand-coloured and of great aesthetic effect, some being doubles. In general, they are all very clean, fresh and neatly folded. A few pages of text with very slight moisture stains not affecting the engravings. Contemporary green morocco half-bindings with covers covered with a canvas similar to the spine and new endpapers. The copies rarely appear on the market, especially when complete like this one. Provenance: lot 353, from Silva's/Pedro de Azevedo auction, April 1993; lot 432 of the Silva’s/Pedro de Azevedo auction, March 2000, (same copy). Tooley, 291 (The most beautiful illustrated book on Portugal of the period). Duarte de Sousa, 398.
