Lot no. 34
LA HARPE (Jean-François de)
Paris, Ledentu, 1825.
A Summary of the General History of Travels.
23 (of 24) in-8 vols. and 1 folio-sized atlas vol., red half-maroquin with corner pieces, ribbed spine decorated with gilt motifs, entirely untrimmed (Purgold).
The Atlas contains 15 copper-engraved maps enhanced with watercolours, 11 of which are folded.
A contemporary handwritten note indicates that this is the first of only two copies printed on large-size vellum paper (a claim confirmed by Brunet).
Volume 24 is missing. Bindings slightly rubbed, with some damage to the spine of the Atlas. A few foxing spots and slight traces of damp.
Bibliography: Brunet, III, col. 771.
