Borges de Figueiredo, A.C. and M. Alexandre de Sousa - Revista Archeologica E Historica, Publicacao Mensal, Volume I, 1887, Volume II, 1888
Lisboa, Portugal, Adolpho, Medsto & Ca., . First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Scarce in the trade, there being currently no additional copies available of this Portuguese-language journal of science and discovery, history and archaeology, much less a Presentation Copy thereof (see below). Two volumes bound as one, combining 1887 and 1888 in one volume. Marbled paper over boards, cream leather over tips, spine, gilt lettering over labels on two cloth labels in two compartments. Age-toning to text, very light soiling here and there, but marbled endpapers, very tight binding, and marks of neither highlighting nor underlining anyway. Five raised bands, very handsome volume overall. The tome came from the personal library of Amour-Auguste-Louis-Joseph Berthelot, Baron de Baye, born January 31, 1853 in Paris, died in the same city on August 21, 1931, a French archaeologist and traveler and who even contributed to one of the volumes (see below). A French-language Wikipedia article about him has it that oeJoseph” was the son of Auguste and Georgina Wilkinson of British origin. Wealthy enough to escape the rigors of military service, he eventually oediscovered” archaeology when on a hunt with his father. He began a collection of cut flint from the Plateau de la Vieille Andecy and began real studies at the end of 1871, and was eventually tutored by Father Alphonse Bordé (1824-1899). He participated first in an archaeological congress in Moscow, in 1890, and continued to do so until the declaration of the First World War. Arrested twice and eventually imprisoned, he was released in 1920 following the intervention of Natalia Sedova, Trostky's second wife. He enjoyed a long and distinguished career in archaeology and became president of the Société des Antiquaires de France in 1906. Pasted in is a fine condition short note to him from the senior editor, in French and in written with an extremely fine pen, and with his pleasantries and credentials added at end. Replete with black-and-white, monochrome, duotone and one full color illustration, being a folding map.
