About This Item
Paris: Chez L'Editeur, 1814. Presumed First or Early Editions. Hardcover. Very Good. Undated, circa 1814, seven suites of 12 engraved plates each for a total of 84 later bound, probably late 18thC, in half red leather over marbleized boards. The binding is divided into two sections, the "front" section begun with a centerfold title page with a circular vignette, with the first suite of the five entitled "Suite: d'ouvriers de differentes classes". The printer is identified on the title page as "L'editeur, Rue St. Lazare Chaussee d"Antin, No. 42". The same title page, but with a different circular vignette begins the last two suites of engravings. The first of these two suites is entitled "Suite de Militaires de Differentes Armes." The individual plates, rectangular in shape and in general dimensions of 9cm x 6 cm, are centered on each leaf. Some loss to leather at spine ends and boards worn, binding firm and, most importantly, engravings unfoxed.
