Homenagem a Fernando Pessoa: com os excerptos das suas cartas de amor e um retrato por Almada.

Coimbra, Edições Presença, 1936.. FIRST EDITION. 8°, original printed wrappers (split of 4.5 cm. between front cover and spine at foot, and 1.5 cm. at head). Caricature portrait of Pessoa by Almada Negreiros dated "35" on recto of page [7]. Inevitable light to moderate browning (due to the paper quality) but not brittle. Overall in good condition. 47 pp. [including initial blank l.], (1 l. colophon, 1 blank l.). *** FIRST EDITION, LIMITED TO 500 COPIES. Written days after Pessoa's death, which had passed for the most part unnoticed by the Portuguese public and even to a large extent by the intelligentsia. This is an early attempt to boost his reputation; it also contains the first selections published from Pessoa's love letters. The poet Carlos Queiroz (1907-1949), whose full name was José Carlos Queiroz Nunes Ribeiro, was a member of various literary "tertúlias" such as those frequented by the collaborators of Orpheu, and the collaborators of Presença, including Pessoa, José Régio and João Gaspar Simões. He was a friend of Pessoa.*** Blanco 113. On Queiroz see João Bigotte Chorão in Biblos, IV, 502–3; Dicionário cronológico de autores portugueses, IV, 325-6. Not located in Orbis.
