Itinerario ou Roteyro da Nova Lisboa. 1935 - CARDOSO MARTHA. Itinerario, or Guide to the very noble and loyal city of “Old New Lisbon”. June 1935. Lisbon? : n.p., 1935. 8 pp.; 250 mm. Pamphlet; grey printed wrappers with a large ship device (“A Nao de Sam Vicenze”); text in mock-archaic Portuguese, with small woodcut-style vignettes throughout. Minor handling to edges; a clean, well-preserved copy. A deliberately archaizing typographic pastiche offering a short “itinerary” of the city—its squares and streets, shops and trades, churches and convents—in a nostalgic, lightly satirical tone. The cover note “printed at the expense of Henrique Coimbra, bookseller at the Praça Nova” plays into the historical conceit and bookselling lore. An appealing piece of 1930s Lisbon literary ephemera, illustrated and likely produced in a small run.
