Two volumes in one vol. in-8 of (2) ff, 171 pp.; (2) ff, 235 pp., 22 pl., bound in contemporary marbled half-basane, yellow edges. First edition. 22 plates and maps out of text, some folders. The painter Antoine-Louis Castellan (1772-1838) travelled through Greece and Turkey. More than his painted work, these living relationships, beautifully illustrated by him, gained him a certain notoriety. A fine example. Ex-libris from the Library of the Baron de Nervo. Blackmer, 299; Chadenat, 2247.
