Les phénomènes et les curiosités de la nature

Original quarter morocco over blind blocked pebbled cloth boards, spine on 47 raised bands with gilt lettering, all edges gilt, silk lining papers. With lithographic title vignette and 37 coloured lithographic plates by Lemaitre, fixed with gum arabic. Binding a bit worn, with chipping at the corners and rubbing to the covers and spine. Some soiling to the endpapers, light scattered foxing throughout. The plates are still very bright and vibrant, text printed in blue ink throughout. Overall a good and clean
