RITTER, Joseph (1695-1761).
Vida, y virtudes de la Serenissima Senora D.A Maria Ana, reyna de Portugal, y los Algarves, Princesa Real de Hungria, y Bohemia, y Archiduquesa de Austria, &c. Madrid: Antonio Marin, 1757.
Presentation copy of the first edition in Spanish, printed on thick paper and bound in a contemporary Spanish binding with the arms of Maria-Barbara of Portugal. This biography of Maria Anna of Austria (1683-1754, Queen consort of Portugal by marriage to King John V of Portugal), was written at the request of her daughter Maria-Barbara de Braganza, Queen of Spain (1711-1758), for whom the present copy was bound. One other copy is known with her arms, and it likely that these two copies were bound for presentation by the Queen as patron of the work. Among Maria Anna's interests mentioned by Ritter, both as consort and Regent, was missionary work and, in turn, maps and atlases charting their locations. The biography was first published in Latin in Vienna in 1756, with this Spainish translation by Joseph Guerra appearing the following year. Palau 269578.
Octavo (197 x 126 mm). Engraved portrait, printed on thick paper (faint marginal stain in penultimate quire). Contemporary Spanish red morocco, covers with wide gilt foliate borders composed of swags and sprays, enclosing the central arms of Maria-Barbara of Portugal, gilt spine in 6 compartments decorated with various floral tools, gilt edges, marbled endpapers (spine very lightly faded, small, light abrasions on front cover, extremities lightly rubbed). Provenance: Maria-Barbara de Braganza, Queen of Spain (binding).
