Red morocco TONNELLÉ (Louis Nicolas Alfred) Voyage Artistique en Angleterre et à l'Exposition de Manchester en 1857. Tours, Mame, 1860. 2 volumes in 12: 2f., 511pp. / 2f., 460pp. Contemporary red morocco, ornate ribbed spine, wide lace trim, filleted edges, inner lace, gilt edges. A fine copy. LE BONDIDIER described this work, which has not been republished, as "as rare as the first edition of the Fragments ou le livre sur les Pyrénées" (Lettres à sa mère. Musée Pyr. 1967 p. 136). It should be remembered that Paul MAME, a friend of TONNELLÉ, made all his runs and climbs with him in the Luchon region between July 9 and 30, 1858. These ascents and excursions are described in "Trois mois dans les Pyrénées et dans le Midi en 1858".
