First edition, first printing, of this uncommon publicity booklet produced for Macao's pavilion at the Ibero-American Exposition held in spring 1929. Compilation was overseen by the energetic Artur Tamagnini de Sousa Barbosa (18801940) during the second of his three terms as governor of the colony. Following 108 pages of illustrated contributions discussing Macao's history and culture, there follows an engaging section of statistical tables and data visualizations introducing the region's economic and social development, as well as its climate and demography. Loosely inserted is a small introductory leaflet on Macao issued to a visitor to the Seville exhibition and evidently combined with this copy soon after. Large octavo. With 4 colour maps (1 folding), 15 colour charts and graphs, half-tones, charts, and tables in text. Original buff card wrappers, front cover lettered in black with coat of arms of Macao and yellow Chinese dragon. Wrappers lightly foxed, small closed tears on first blank and map stub, both neatly repaired, offsetting on first two leaves, else clean and bright internally. A near-fine copy.
