Much sought after. Contains at the end a text by L.-M.-H. FABRE: "Notice sur les Basques" (pp. 97-114) and a "Notice sur la Flore de nos environs", by Ulysse DARRACQ (pp. 115-123). "It is impossible to describe Hennebutte's standard album, because it does not exist. It is probable that the publisher composed the various copies according to the availabilities of the moment or according to the tastes of his customers. The richest copies contain 27 or 28 lithographs (can include until 33 plates according to Barbe). The lithographs may differ slightly from one copy to another. There are also albums without text and bearing only the titles of the 1st and 2nd parts". Barbe gives a list of lithographs of this format, signed HENNEBUTTE-FEILLET (4 for Bayonne; 3 for Biarritz; 1 for Cambo; 1 for Saint-Jean-de-Luz; and 9 various views of Spain).
