1851 · Paris
by Begin, Emile. Illustrations by Rouargue Freres
Paris: Belin-Leprieur et Morizot, 1851. Decorated Cloth. Very Good. Gorgeous blindstamped, gilt and colored decorated cloth binding with Tell statue centerpiece and floral surround! 4to. 27 by 18 cm. viii, 560 pp. 24 plates, of which eight are hand-colored. Moderate amount of foxing on text leaves and steel engraved plate margins, as inevitable with the paper stock employed. The color plates are cleaner and fresher looking. Joints repaired.
