BURNETT, William Hickling.- Burnett's views of Cintra.- London: published by Josh. Dickinson, s.d.- [14] litografias coloridas; 49 cm.- E. The author (ca. 1800-ca. 1870), an English painter and draftsman, traveled through Portugal, Spain, Italy, Egypt, Tangier and Scotland, where he collected compositions that were later set in stone, in this case by Charles Joseph Hullmandel, with an active lithographic studio in London from 1819 to 1850. The title and imprint were removed from the brochure cover (certainly from one of the fascicles), which is still intact, since the edition does not have a title page (it was never printed). The volume consists of: a cover (the top one), a sheet with a dedication to William IV and 14 hand-coloured lithographs, printed by the chine-collée process, with the following inscription: Drawn from nature & in stone by Wm. H. Burnett — Printed by C. Hallmandel. The order of prints may vary in each copy. This one presents the following: 1 - Cintra; 2 - Cintra from the East; 3 - The Market Place; 4 - Entrance to Cintra; 5 - The Convent of the Penha Longa; 6 - The Convent of N.ª S.ª da Penna; 7 - General View of Cintra; 8 - Cintra from the West; 9 - The Cork Convent; 10 - A part of the Palace; 11 - An old Chapel of the Moorish Castle; 12 - The Church of Cintra; 13 - A Distant View of the Penna Convent; 14 - Entrance to the Penna. Prints, very clean, assembled in guards, keeping great freshness. Recent binding, in full morocco, signed Victor Santos, with a triple fillet in gold ornamental border on the covers, engraving on the front cover and smooth spine, in keeping with the taste of the time; gold roll on the squares and top edge gilt; protective case. Duarte de Sousa, II, 117.
