BURNETT, William Hickling.- Burnett's views of Cintra.- London: published by Josh. Dickinson, s.d. [ca. 1834].- [1] f.: [14] litografias; 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 to stone, in this case by Charles Joseph Hullmandel, whose lithographic studio was active in London between 1819 and 1850. The title and footnote were taken from the cover of a brochure (certainly from one of the fascicles), which remains loose, with strong browning and a highlighted corner (the edition does not include a title page). The volume consists of: a paperback cover (top), a sheet with a dedication to William IV and 14 uncoloured lithographs, signed as follows: Drawn from nature & in stone by Wm. H. Burnett — Printed by C. Hallmandel. Includes the following prints: 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 - Cintra Overview; 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. Disjointed and slightly handled volume, with three loose prints; some minor stains and slight foxing; last print with small tear, no lack of support. However, it is complete and recoverable. Provenance: Adolpho Loureiro Library (ex-libris and stamp on the dedication); ex-libris by Victor d’Avila Perez (lot no. 8531 from the auction held in 1939/40). Half leather binding, 20th century. Duarte de Sousa, 117.
