[MANUSCRITO]. ÁLBUM de autógrafos literários e musicais. Lisboa e Porto. 1872–1875. - [MANUSCRITO] ÁLBUM de autógrafos literários e musicais . Lisboa e Porto, 1872–1875. manuscrito sobre papel; 204 ff., das quais 22 manuscritas; 220 mm. Encadernação com lombada em pele da época, decorada a ouro nas pastas e lombada. A collection of literary and musical autographs gathered in Lisbon and Porto between 1872 and 1875, with fourteen entries in verse, prose, and music, written by various authors, some of which refer to the very act of writing in albums. Among the contributors, by signature, are Francisco Gomes de Amorim, Guiomar Torresão, Batalha Reis and Albert Pimentel, joined by the Porto-born composer Bernardo Moreira de Sá, with a piano waltz dedicated to D. Isabel Maria de Castro Molarinho, and the writer Oliveira Júnior, who signs four pieces, including the short story Sophia and an elegy dedicated to the late Maria Isabel de Sousa Guimarães. The owner is not identified on the pages examined. One of the pieces, titled ”My dear Oliveira” by Batalha Reis, and another, of a humorous tone, in which a visitor named Oliveira turns out to be an album, and the initials 'OJ' on the spine of the volume, suggest that the book was organized, or at least requested, by Oliveira Júnior himself, author of the longer pieces. An album of literary sociability in Lisbon in 1870, of interest for the study of writing practices and the giving of autographs, which brings together well-known names from the literary and musical worlds.
