Beschreibung

x + 367 pages + 40 plates. Condition quarter leather hardback binding almost mint ( recently professionally rebound) . Contents good/fair, & tight, some minor foxing to many pages, a few corner tip folds/loss, one page with corner loss (including only part of 2 words), one plate with fold. The plates are very confusing. The frontispiece plate is opp page 12 and numbered PL III, then 1 folding plate & 3 single plates, then the xxxv (35) plates in numbered order, one to each person. So a total of 40 plates inc frontis. All French Text. Unable to very much about this item, as seems in 1837 there were more than one copy including Paris & Bruxelles both different, and different number of plates and not always bound the same, some have a frontis whereas This Bruxelles copy and the copy in the Library of Congress both have this plate opposite page 12, but the next few were not bound in the same place. Others for sale all seem to have less plates. So a rare book, and with 40 plates. Size: 11 x 17cm Approx. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 003034
