About This Item
(N.p., , 1775).. First and Only Edition. Broadside (folio half sheet: 31 x 21 cm.), printed on recto only, unbound [?] or disbound [?]. Very fine. Contemporary ink foliation "137" in upper outer corner of recto. *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION? This apparently unrecorded sonnet was written for D. José I's sixty-first birthday (1775), which was also the date on which Machado de Castro's famous equestrian statue of D. José was set in place in Black Horse Square. It remains one of Lisbon's most notable monuments. Machado de Castro (1731-1822), perhaps Portugal's foremost sculptor, wrote extensively on his works and the theory behind them, including a full-length discussion of the equestrian statue of D. José I entitled Descripção analytica da execucão da estatua equestre, Lisbon 1810.*** Lisbon, Câmara Municipal, Catálogo de exposição bibliográfica, iconográfica e documental relativa à estátua equestre 347. Cf. Pamplona, Dicionário de pintores e escultores portugueses III, 14-8. Not in Innocêncio; see IV, 125. Not located in NUC.
