8vo., 4pp printed on pink paper (faded) with an engraving of an urn with trailing vines and a banner titled “masdeu” on upper wrapper.


A scarce advertising ephemeron, including an article “old crusted masdeu” reflecting the rise in consumption of masdeu wine during the 1830s.


the methuen treaty of 1703 which stipulated that no tax could be charged for portuguese wines exported to england, caused a marked decrease in the amount of wine imported from france where taxes were still levied. in 1831 however the levels of tax for wines from france and portugal were equalised and imports from france began to grow. one of the wines that flourished in this period was masdeu from roussillon. this price list from henekey champions the wine, and their stocks of it. the final page is a current price list for henekey.
