BRAGELONNE (A. de): Train of pleasure in the five parts of the world. Picturesque and fantastic journey. Lithographs by a. LACAUCHIE. Paris, Maison Martinet-Hautecoeur, frères, [circa 1845]. One volume.
25 by 33,5 cm. (2)-51 pages, and 20 lithographed plates in colors. Publisher's full black percaline, polychrome decoration on the first board, cold framing on the second board. Binding in good condition. Scattered foxing. Light marginal staining on the last few leaves, affecting two lithographs in the margin.
Exceptional copy, as it includes 20 lithographs, instead of the 12 present in all the other copies we have found described. We have the costumes of:
Armenians; Spaniards; Moorish; Romans; Hungarians; Tyroleans; Swiss; Greeks; Crimean Tartars; Turks; Germans; Finns; The Imperial Step; Russians; Indians; Chinese; Mexicans; Wild costumes; Scots; Bretons.
The lithographs, under serpente, are splendid, and little touched by the freckles. A very nice work
