VIVIAN, George.- Scenery of Portugal & Spain / on stone by L. Haghe.- London: P. & D. Colnaghi,; Ackermann, 1839.- [35] litografias em [31] folhas; 54 cm.- E. George Vivian (1798-1873), English architect, draftsman, painter and art critic, traveled throughout Europe for 30 years, staying especially in Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Scandinavia and Russia. The edition, entirely lithographed and considered one of the most beautiful books ever published on the Iberian countries, was originally published in fascicles, so the number of plates may vary from copy to copy. The present is complete, matching exactly the respective index, also lithographed, that is, it consists of 35 lithographs gauffered on 31 sheets, three of which are preliminary sheets (title page and list of drawings), 27 sheets with 30 lithographs (the plates 19/20, 29/30 and 33/34 are double) and a final plate (tail piece). It should be noted that, of the 35 lithographs, 27 represent locations in Portugal. At the end, two sheets (3 p.) with the publisher's publicity, which do not belong to the edition. Clean copy, preserving all plates very fresh (no separators), covered in good recent binding, entirely in green morocco (probably from the workshops of the Ricardo Espírito Santo Silva Foundation), with gold ornamental borders on the covers, smooth spine profusely gold decorated, double “filet de coupe”, rolls on the squares and gilt edges; protective case. Palau, 372196. Duarte de Sousa, 746.
