About This Item
Bruxelles: Librairie historique-artistique, 1843. First edition. 4 large in-8 volumes, (270 mm x 170 mm). Midnight blue half-sheepskin binding, embossed percaline covers, spines have gilt titles and decoration. Illustrated with hand coloured / hand finished engraved plates. These were created by the leading illustrators of the time, including Duverger, L. Markaert, R. King. The bindings are in very good condition, with a little rubbing to the edges only. Inside, the text and plates have light foxing throughout, but are overall in very good condition. Each copy online offers a different number of plates for each of the four volumes - but our copy seems to match the maximum collation for each variation (so seems complete.) The index is of limited use, as it only lists a proportion of the plates. In addition to the four title vignettes, we have: Europe (1844). 364 pages, 49 plates; Asie (1845). 592 pages, 82 plates; L'Afrique et l'Amérique (1844), 368 pages, 43 plates; l'Océanie (1845) 368 pages 36 plates. A total of 210 coloured plates. Van der Marck pp. 154-155; Colas 3041; Chadenat 1507. Première édition. 4 grands volumes in-8, (27cm x 17cm) Reliure demi basane bleu nuit, couvertures percaline repoussée, dos à titre et décor dorés. Illustré de planches coloriées à la main / gravées à la main. Ceux-ci ont été créés par les principaux illustrateurs de l'époque, dont Duverger, L. Markaert, R. King. Les reliures sont en très bon état, avec quelques frottements sur les bords seulement. A l'intérieur, le texte et les planches présentent de légères rousseurs sur l'ensemble, mais sont globalement en très bon état. Chaque exemplaire en ligne propose un nombre différent de planches pour chacun des quatre volumes - mais notre exemplaire semble correspondre à la collation maximale pour chaque variation (il semble donc complet.) L'index est d'une utilité limitée, car il ne répertorie qu'une partie des planches. En plus des quatre vignettes de titre, nous avons : Europe (1844). 364 pages, 49 planches ; Asie (1845). 592 pages, 82 planches ; L'Afrique et l'Amérique (1844), 368 pages, 43 planches ; l'Océanie (1845) 368 pages 36 planches. Un total de 210 planches colorées. Van der Marck pp. 154-155; Colas 3041 ; Tchadenat 1507.
