AMÉLIA, D. (Rainha de Portugal).- Mes dessins: mes endroits préférés = Os meus desenhos: os meus logares predilectos.- Paris: Le Goupy, 1927.- [7], 119, [12,1 br.] f.: il.; 41 cm.- B. First volume of one of the most famous books of the first half of the 20th century, entirely lithographed and calligraphed, the drawings presenting a very special charm. The following year a second volume was published, with the subtitle “Art et archéologie”, with a print run of 375 copies. Its product was destined for National Assistance to Tuberculosis Patients. The edition was directed by the Count of Sabugosa, a great and erudite bibliophile, who never saw the work completed. Copy no. 245, nominative “à la presse” (Exemplaire imprimé pour Dona Maria José Machado de Castello Branco), from an edition limited to 250. The set, as usual, in loose sheets, with parchment portfolio, specific to the edition, missing the original clasps (ivory pearls) which were replaced by two silver metal crowned buttons; the leather clips are also not original. Complete copy, with occasional light browning and some irregular cuts; parchment portfolio with slight wear and a little tarnished on the front cover.
