BLANCO, Bernardo (1828-1876), Carlos MÚGICA (1821-1892) and Vicente URRABIETA (d. 1879) and others (artists and lithographers)

Episodios de la Guerra de Africa, 1859-1860. Madrid: C. Moro, editor, Puerta del Sol, 57y9 [1860?].

Fine and rare copy of a suite of lithographs emotively detailing the Hispano-Moroccan War (1859-1860). The war began with a dispute over the border of the Spanish city of Ceuta and was fought in northern Morocco. Morocco sued for peace after the Spanish victory at the Battle of Tetuán. Bound in the same volume are 4 lithographic portraits of Leopoldo O’Donnell (1809-1867), Pedro Mur (1833-1910) [minor water damage], Juan Prim (1814-1870), and Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807-1882). The lithographs are reminiscent in style of the ones illustrating the contemporary periodical publications, with which these artists and lithographers regularly collaborated. Bobins II, 673; Palau 8021.



Oblong folio (305 x 436mm). 2 lithographed titles, one in red and one in blue, with 24 tinted plates, plus extra illustrated with 4 lithographic portraits, all mounted on guards (portrait plate of Pedro Mur with marginal chip repaired). Modern green morocco-backed boards, spine compartments tooled in gilt (extremities faintly rubbed).
