"Having for a considerable period been attached to the Staff of the Spanish Army, I amused myself, during my leisure hours, in sketching the variety of costumes and military scenes which I have frequently witnessed. These triffling outlines I proposed placing in my private album; but by earnest persuasion of m friends I have been induced to publish them... These will, I believe, be the first of the kind presented to the public... [and] give an idea of what is actually happening in Spain"Very rare, no copies on OCLC. Not in Yale, BNE, BL.
