Original o primera edición
First edition of this seemingly unrecorded Portuguese prospectus for a new maritime shipping concern operating between Lisbon, Brazil and China, issued amidst growing European challenges to Portugal's commercial position and one year before the Qing empire significantly loosened restrictions on overseas traders in Canton. The document describes in 27 clauses the terms and operations of a new Portuguese company recently granted (by King Joseph I of Portugal) sea trade rights for 1771 between Rio de Janeiro, Macao, and Canton. It records that the company's ship will sail from Lisbon to Macao via Rio, as well as the names of its two founders (Joaquim Antonio Alberto and Florencio Teixiera de Azevedo) and the capital to be raised by stock issues. It appeals for new investors, specifies a docking period in Brazil for trading, and outlines the freight rates for Macao's residents wishing to ship items back to Portugal. In 1771, the Qing empire finally disbanded Canton's restrictive Cohong system, making the Chinese market more directly accessible to foreign traders. In the same year, the East India Company was permitted to begin operations in the city, mounting a significant challenge to Portugal's trade routes. Canton offered Portugal a route to profits which could more than make up for Macao's steady decline as a commercial centre during the 18th century. Folio pamphlet (311 x 220 mm), pp. 11. 19th-century string stab stitching, edges uncut. Elaborate woodcut vignette of Portuguese royal coat of arms on title page. Title page dated "8 de Nov de 1770" in a neat contemporary hand, additional contemporary annotation - "justo" - on p. 4. Pages bright with a little toning at margins, small stabbed perforation at gutter throughout, affecting one letter on p. 4. A near-fine copy.
