Ackermann, 1821.- V, [1 br.], 118, [2] p.: [27] gravuras color.; 27 cm.- E. William Combe (1742-1823), English writer and adventurer, contemporary of William Beckford, published this work at the age of 79. Original edition, published without the author's name, illustrated with a vignette on the title page and 27 aquatints, coloured by hand, with great freshness, portraying, with some ingenuity and humor, Madeiran uses and customs. Very clean copy, only cropped to the top (gilt edge), with occasional creases on the upper margin of some leaves, probably originated in a phase prior to printing. (Original?) tobacco canvas contemporary binding with blind engraving on the covers and gold tooling on the spine, as published. Tooley, nº 150. Duarte de Sousa, II, 348.
