Hardback. Condizione: New. The destruction on the morning of All Saints Day 1755 of the heart of the city of Lisbon by an earthquake, tidal wave and the urban fires that followed was a tragedy that divides the 18th century in Portugal. One casualty on that fatal morning was the Royal Library, one of the most magnificent librarie…s in Europe at the time. The Lost Library of the King of Portugal tells the story of the lost library - its creation, collection and significance. This 18th-century library was founded by the Bragança monarch Dom João V shortly after he came to the throne in 1706, and was housed at the heart of the royal palace, the Paço da Ribeira in Lisbon. The king's abiding ambition was to create one of Europe's great court libraries and, at the time of his death in 1750, it was reputed to be one of the most magnificent libraries in Europe. The Royal Library was also composed of a Cabinet of Prints and Drawings, medals and scientific instruments as well as a Cabinet of Natural History with specimens from across Portugal's global empire. This documented study describes the creation of the library, its cultural significance in 18th-century Portugal, the acquisition of single volumes as well as entire libraries from across Europe and the role in this of Portugal's most talented diplomats. It include the collection of manuscripts from the celebrated library of Charles Spencer, 3rd Earl of Sunderland and the unpublished correspondence that was exchanged during the negotiations between London and Lisbon. Throughout his reign, the devout Dom João V set out to conjure up his own vision of Rome and the papal court he never saw. Two chapters are devoted to Italy - one to the talented archaeologist Francesco Bianchini at the papal court, including the unpublished correspondence between him and his royal patron Dom João V, as well as the guides to Rome and art and architecture at the ducal courts of northern Italy, both commissioned by the king. When the library was destroyed in 1 November 1755 by the earthquake, tidal wave and the fires that followed, only a few books, manuscripts and albums of prints were saved, and the author traces their final journey with the royal family and court to Brazil on the eve of the invasion by Napoleon's army in November 1806.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has light creasing at edges and spine. Interior and binding are still excellent. This lavish book examines one of the finest examples of Neo-classical silver to be made in 19t…h-century Europe. Known as the Service of Victory, it was given to the Duke of Wellington by Portugal in gratitude for his victories over Napoleon in the Peninsular Wars. It was a major diplomatic gift intended to honour both the Portuguese nation and Wellington. About 150 craftsmen worked for 4 years under the leading artist of the Portuguese court to produce the service, which is large enough for 60 guests, and it was shipped to England in 55 cases. Chapters describe the life and work of the artist, assess the service in the context of French Empire and English Regency silver, examine its design and manufacture, explore its subsequent use, and include shipping lists, condition reports, letters, and contemporary newspaper accounts. Important new archival material recently discovered in Brazil is included and many Portuguese documents appear for the first time in an English publication.

English text.; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 24 x 29 cm.; 0.915 Kg.; 136 pages with black-and-white photos.; Used book in very good condition. The dust jacket shows signs of wear, namely small scuffs.; This book explores the history of the gardens of the Royal…Palace of Queluz in the 18th and 19th centuries. The renowned authors, Simonetta Luz Afonso and Angela Delaforce, based their research on coeval documentation that was dispersed around the world, part of which has been reproduced in this volume. Through the interpretation and meticulous analysis of these sources, the research team, who worked on this project for three years, was able to reconstruct the original gardens and explore the significance of garden culture during the 18th and 19th centuries. In an appendix, the authors transcribe relevant documents for the historical and aesthetical analysis of the gardens and their constructions. Besides the illustrations included throughout the book that ease the investigation, the publication ends with contemporary black and white photographs by Nicolas Sapieha, showing the garden structures in the Palace of Queluz.
