VIVIAN, George (1798-1873). Scenery of Portugal and Spain. London: P. and D. Colnaghi, Ackermann; Paris: Ritter and Goupil; Berlin: A. Asher, 1839. 2° (555 x 374mm). Lithographic title, 2ll. plate list with lithographic head- and tailpiece (Abbey's plate nos. 31 and 32), and 32 plates after Vivian by L. Haghe on 29 leaves. Advertisement leaf at beginning and end, both advertising Vivian's Scenery of Spain. (Variable spotting throughout.) Contemporary green roan-backed embossed boards (extremities rubbed, head- and tailcaps more heavily).

FIRST EDITION, but with second issue of plate 'Oporto. Praca de Sm Bento'. A sequel to Vivian's volume on Spain, this series of lithographs is largely devoted to Portugal, including views of Lisbon, Cintra, Setubal, Arrabida, Leiria, Coimbra, Porto, Villa do Conde, Guimares, Braga, and Ponte do Lima. However, there are equally picturesque scenes from Vigo, Malaga, Granada, and Valencia. The order of the plates differs from the Abbey copy. Abbey Travel 138; Palau 372195.
