Romantic views of Sintra. A fine visual record of Sintra, near Lisbon. A long-time royal sanctuary, the area's forested terrain is studded with pastel-coloured villas and palaces. The Moorish- and Manueline-style Sintra National Palace is distinguished by dramatic twin chimneys and elaborate tilework.
Now a UNESCO heritage site, Sintra remains largely unchanged since the publication of this book, and Burnett's lithographs of the flora and architecture of the region are as relevant as ever.
First edition, folio (41 x 33.5 cm), titled to upper wrapper, dedication leaf and 14 lithographs by Hullmandel after Burnett, original wrappers, lower wrapper defective.
