LANDMANN'S MILITARY AND PICTURESQUE OBSERVATIONS ON PORTUGAL

174pp., 4to, 79 colour plates 2025. Since the editors' successful collaboration on the Waterloo Atlas in 2021, discussions have continued regarding the production of a complimentary work on the contemporary views of the Peninsular War. Landmann begins this exciting new series. The rarity and cost of the two mammoth volumes, originally entitled Historical, Military, and Picturesque Observations on Portugal: illustrated by seventy-five coloured plates, including authentic plans of the sieges and battles fought in the Peninsula during the late war; by George Landmann, Lieutenant-Colonel in the Corps of Royal Engineers…' published in 1818 puts them way out of the reach of most collectors - including the two editors. Therefore, they have assembled all of the colour plates from both volumes and further added nine contemporary maps by William Faden (1797) and one road map of Portugal of 1812.
