1881 175 p., 8 plates and 2 double-paged view/sections (1 hand-coloured), contemporary half cloth with marbled boards, label author/title in gilt on spine, marbled endpapers. Original printed front cover bound in. Some slight rubbing on label else a good copy in a good contemporary binding.One of only 100 copies, as with most of Bourguignat’s publications. With a handwritten dedication by Bourguignat to an unknown recipient (when bound the upper part with the name was cut off). This copy lacks pages 19-20 and 29-30, but the 19 century owner included hand written copies of these four pages and they are bound in. At the end are bound two extra copies each of pages 51-52 and 61-62, these apparently were faulty pages as with pencil is written on the first of these pages “Anciennes mauvaises pages refaites”
