About This Item
Porto, Livraria Internacional de Ernesto Chardron Casa Editora Lugan & Genelioux, Successores (printed Porto: Typ. de A.J. da Silva Teixeira), 1889.. 8°, twentieth-century (between 1926 and 1940) half sheep over decorated boards (outer joints expertly repaired), spine gilt with raised bands in five compartments, author-short title lettered gilt in second compartment from head, marbled endleaves, top edges rouged, other edges uncut, original printed wrappers bound in. Light foxing. Overall in very good condition. 2.5 x 1.5 cm. ticket of "Carmelita, Calada do Sacramento, 29 Lisboa" tipped on to upper outer corner of front free endleaf verso. ix pp., (1 l.), 674 pp., (1 blank l.). *** Third edition in book form of one of the best and most important novels ever written, the first novel written entirely by Eça de Queiroz, and certainly one of his most important works. The first edition in book form, 1876, was greatly revised from the original version which had appeared the previous year in the Revista occidental. (O Mistério da estrada de Sintra, written in collaboration with Ramalho Ortigão, had appeared in 1870.) The second edition in book form, 1880, was again greatly revised, achieving almost double the length of the previous edition. The present edition, though not revised by Eça, does contain a few minor variations.The bindery "A Carmelita" was founded in 1926 by Frederico d'Almeida, probably the best Portuguese bookbinder of the twentieth century. He worked there until 1940 before moving to Rua António Maria Cardoso, 31, ao Chiado, where he continued to work under his own name until the 1970s. Among his illustrious clients were the exiled King Umberto II of Italy and the Conde de Barcelona. See Matias Lima, Encadernadores portugueses, pp. 19-23. *** Guerra da Cal 36.
