½ green contemporary basane, smooth spines slightly sunned, gilt titles, fillets and tomaisons, one bit cracked at foot entry, rubbing.
This work is complete with its 288 plates. This is rare enough to be highlighted, as most of them are missing. Portraits, details of monuments, but above all an irreplaceable collection of views of towns and villages in the Landes, Gers, Gironde and Lot-et-Garonne regions in the mid-19th century. The views are lively and attractive.
