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.)

FIRST EDITION, but with second issue of plate 'Oporto. Praca de Sm Bento'.
