Complete sets, including the scarce 'Atlas du Delta Occidental', are very uncommon. Collotype is one of the most accurate and attractive methods of photomechanical tonal printing processes. Highly skilled and expensive process, it cannot produce more than a limited number of impressions. It has been used for single-sheet prints and luxury portfolios, and since the 1950s has been abandoned by all except a few small specialist firms. It is particularly noteworthy that the maps here are printed in this technique, considering their large surface. . more information
