SKETCHES of Portuguese life, manners, costume, and character / by A. P. D. G.- London: Geo. B. Whittaker, 1826.- XXV, [3], 364 p.: il.; 23 cm.- E.
Rare title in the foreign bibliography on Portugal, whose author, who signs only with his initials, remains to this day unidentified. Of him it is known only that he served in the British army in Lisbon and accompanied the royal family in their retreat to Brazil. The 20 aquatints (plus an engraving with musical notation of a modinha, with foxing), hand-coloured, which illustrate the edition, mainly represent customs and scenes of daily life in Lisbon and Rio de Janeiro and present a caricature and satirical nature. Copy with the half-title missing, as in most known copies, a little cropped, with the detriment of the marks (of the plates) of some engravings, on the outer edge. Engravings sometimes with small stains on the same outer edge (fore edge); modinha print with foxing. Occasional small stains and slight offset (contact transfer) to the adjacent sheets, caused by the colour of the prints. Good contemporary binding, full in crushed morocco, made in the United Kingdom, with a beautiful gold ornamental border on the covers (vines and bunches of grapes) and finished with blind tooling decoration; roll on the squares and in the thickness of the covers; panels gold closed on the spine (with slightly weak joints).

Original edition of the first book was printed in Viana da Foz do Lima (today Viana do Castelo), according to Inocêncio, the rarest and most esteemed of all. Fr. Luís de Sousa (1555-1632), whose secular name is Manuel de Sousa Coutinho, was born in Santarém. He was around 20 years old when he was captured by privateers off Sardinia and imprisoned for two years in Algiers, where he met Cervantes. In 1577 he was freed and in 1583 he married D. Madalena de Vilhena, with whom he lived in Spain and traveled to South America (Panama and Peru). In 1614, the two decided to enter the religious life, him joining to the Convent of St. Dominic of Benfica and she to the Convent of Sacrament in Lisbon. Fr. Luís was the chief chronicler of his order and is considered one of the most brilliant authors of the Portuguese language. Don Fr. Bartolomeu dos Mártires, O.P. (1514-1590), Archbishop of Braga, a prominent figure in the Portuguese Church of the 16th century, was beatified by Pope John Paul II and, in 2016, canonized by Pope Francis. The copy, very cropped, preserves, in addition to the engraved title, the rare portrait of the Saint, signed Ioan Schorkens fecit (Ernesto Soares, Dictionary, 389) with several restorations to wormholes, which indicates the provenance of another copy. First preliminary sheet with reinforced inner margin; second preliminary sheet with an oval stamp or seal (27 mm) that is repeated twice on the first sheet of text. Otherwise, a clean and solid copy. Ex-libris of AGC on the back cover and of Cândido Xavier da Costa, on the free endpaper. Stamp by T. Norton and former ownership inscription of Joseph Fernandes Braga, on the engraved title.

On the verso of page 188, the colophon, with the place and printer not mentioned on the cover, followed by the date. The copy, slightly cropped and with a slight browning, has some lines censored at the time (crossed out) and a fold-out engraving at the beginning, representing the geocentric system, which does not belong to the edition.

First edition, published without the author's name, of the English translation of the work of the famous Genoese historian Conestaggio, by algyns wrongly attributed to D. João da Silva, Count of Portalegre. Initially considered pro-Spanish, this did not prevent it from being banned in the court of Filipe I (of Portugal). The work, whose original edition was published in Genoa in 1585, was quickly translated into German, French, Latin, Castilian and English, with several editions until the mid-17th century, has now been rehabilitated and is considered an objective and impartial account of events. that led to the loss of independence from Portugal in 1580 (see article published by Prof. Giacinto Manuppela, in the Boletim Internacional de Bibliografia Luso-Brasileira, Lisbon, FCG, 1960, vol. I, nº 3, p. 352). Complete copy, slightly cropped and with slight foxing. Title page (blank verso) slightly dusty, with old belonging on the upper margin.

The Congregation of the Secular Canons of St. John the Evangelist, or of the Lóios, was founded at the beginning of the 15th century and aimed to contribute to the reform of the clergy. During the reign of King João III, the Lóios were in charge of managing all the hospitals in the Kingdom, and convents were founded in Lisbon, Évora and Oporto. Excellent copy of a rare 16th century species printed in Lisbon, of which Inocêncio (IV, p. 5) will not have seen any copy. Very solid and with good margins (carmine edge), it has some underlining of the time, very slight and occasional stains and the eventual missing of the last folio in white. The words on the frontispiece are framed by a complex xilographic cartouche, surmounted by the coat of arms of Portugal. The Latin text is composed in very clear round characters, printed on heavyweight paper and includes numerous xilographic capital letters, some of which are large, as well as other decorative motifs. 19th century binding with morocco spine.

Luigi Mayer (1755-1803) was born in Rome, but worked in London under the protection of Sir Robert Ainslie, the United Kingdom's ambassador to Turkey between 1776 and 1792. The vast majority of his drawings were the result of commissions from Ainslie, making Mayer one of the first artists to represent the Ottoman Empire as the main theme of his extensive work. Bilingual edition, in English and French, illustrated with 24 hand-coloured aquatints, accompanied by the respective explanatory texts and an index in both languages, on the last page. Engraving No. 20 with two small cuts on the lower edge, without lack of support. Offering inscription, dated 1825, on the third free endpaper.

CUMBERLAND JUNIOR, George.- Views in Portugal and Spain, taken during the campaign of His Grace the Duke of Wellington / by G. Cumberland, Jun.- London: Printed by William Nicol, 1823.- [3], 20 [i.é 19] litografias color.; 27x37 cm.- E.
The author, of whom little is known, should not be confused with his father and namesake (1754-1848), an English writer, poet and collector, who was part of William Blake's circle of friends and to whom the work is usually attributed. In fact, it is known that Cumberland (son) accompanied Wellington on his Iberian campaign “...and produced a beautiful book of watercolour illustrations in 1823 called Views in Spain and Portugal” (see Cumberland Family, www.manfamily.org), while his father never visited the Peninsula. The title was taken from the gilt engraving of the upper cover, as the title page was never printed. It was, however, printed on a label which in some copies is glued on a protective cover (not printed) and which the present copy does not have. The edition had a print run of only 100 copies, each consisting of three pages with the explanation of the prints and 19 hand-coloured lithographs (the last print is wrongly numbered with nº 20). According to the «Description of the views» (p. 1), the set includes the following prints: I - The Aqueduct...; II - View of the Duke of Wellington’s lines covering Lisbon...; III - ... the principal entrance to a small church at Golegã; IV - Tomar; V - A fountain in Elvas; VI - A view of Elvas, with the aqueduct, and Fort La Lippe; VII - North view of Elvas...; VIII - Badajos...; IX - Porta-legre...; X - The Army crossing the Tagus at Villa Velha...; XI - Castello Branco, with the Serra de Estrella...; XII - Celorico...; XIII - Panoramic view from the Castle of St. Sebastian; XIV - Palace of San Ildefonso...; XV - Palencia...; XVI - Santander...; XVII - Vitoria...; XIX - View of the river Douro at Toro... Excellent copy, signed by the author, very clean and with large margins. Full morocco binding, with gold tooling on the squares and magnificent moirée silk doublures, signed “bound by Zaehnsdorf, London, England”. Francisco de Saldanha da Gama Ferrão de Castelo Branco' Bookmark (nº 246 of the catalogue nº 43 of Soares & Mendonça, prepared by bookseller Manuel Ferreira).
