SKETCHES of Portuguese life, manners, costume, and character / by A. P. D. G.- London: Geo. B. Whittaker, 1826.- XXV, [3], 364 p.: il.; 23 cm.- E., Rare title in the foreign bibliography on Portugal, whose author, who signs only with his initials, remains to this day unidentified. Of him it is known only that he served in the British army in Lisbon and accompanied the royal family in their retreat to Brazil. The 20 aquatints (plus an engraving with musical notation of a modinha, with foxing), hand-coloured, which illustrate the edition, mainly represent customs and scenes of daily life in Lisbon and Rio de Janeiro and present a caricature and satirical nature. Copy with the half-title missing, as in most known copies, a little cropped, with the detriment of the marks (of the plates) of some engravings, on the outer edge. Engravings sometimes with small stains on the same outer edge (fore edge); modinha print with foxing. Occasional small stains and slight offset (contact transfer) to the adjacent sheets, caused by the colour of the prints. Good contemporary binding, full in crushed morocco, made in the United Kingdom, with a beautiful gold ornamental border on the covers (vines and bunches of grapes) and finished with blind tooling decoration; roll on the squares and in the thickness of the covers; panels gold closed on the spine (with slightly weak joints).

CUMBERLAND JUNIOR, George.- Views in Portugal and Spain, taken during the campaign of His Grace the Duke of Wellington / by G. Cumberland, Jun.- London: Printed by William Nicol, 1823.- [3], 20 [i.é 19] litografias color.; 27x37 cm.- E., The author, of whom little is known, should not be confused with his father and namesake (1754-1848), an English writer, poet and collector, who was part of William Blake's circle of friends and to whom the work is usually attributed. In fact, it is known that Cumberland (son) accompanied Wellington on his Iberian campaign “...and produced a beautiful book of watercolour illustrations in 1823 called Views in Spain and Portugal” (see Cumberland Family, www.manfamily.org), while his father never visited the Peninsula. The title was taken from the gilt engraving of the upper cover, as the title page was never printed. It was, however, printed on a label which in some copies is glued on a protective cover (not printed) and which the present copy does not have. The edition had a print run of only 100 copies, each consisting of three pages with the explanation of the prints and 19 hand-coloured lithographs (the last print is wrongly numbered with nº 20). According to the «Description of the views» (p. 1), the set includes the following prints: I - The Aqueduct...; II - View of the Duke of Wellington’s lines covering Lisbon...; III - ... the principal entrance to a small church at Golegã; IV - Tomar; V - A fountain in Elvas; VI - A view of Elvas, with the aqueduct, and Fort La Lippe; VII - North view of Elvas...; VIII - Badajos...; IX - Porta-legre...; X - The Army crossing the Tagus at Villa Velha...; XI - Castello Branco, with the Serra de Estrella...; XII - Celorico...; XIII - Panoramic view from the Castle of St. Sebastian; XIV - Palace of San Ildefonso...; XV - Palencia...; XVI - Santander...; XVII - Vitoria...; XIX - View of the river Douro at Toro... Excellent copy, signed by the author, very clean and with large margins. Full morocco binding, with gold tooling on the squares and magnificent moirée silk doublures, signed “bound by Zaehnsdorf, London, England”. Francisco de Saldanha da Gama Ferrão de Castelo Branco' Bookmark (nº 246 of the catalogue nº 43 of Soares & Mendonça, prepared by bookseller Manuel Ferreira). Lot 299 at Silva’s/Pedro de Azevedo auction, May 2000 (same copy). Duarte de Sousa, 201.
