Atlas National Illustré des 86 Départements et des Possessions De La France …

Folio (535 x 380 mm.), original green tooled cloth boards, quarter green calf. Gilt title panel to upper board, decorative gilt tooled spine and title; rebacked with light wear to boards, but otherwise a very good example. Engraved title, table of statistics and 86 regional maps of France. Plus French dependencies around the World, including: Algeria, Isle de la Réunion, Guadeloupe, Martinique, French Colonies in Africa, French Colonies in the Americas, Europe, Africa, South America, North America, Asia, Australasia. The world map is replaced by a double hemisphere map (folded) and there is also a map of the whole of France showing the postal routes. The later two maps appear to be correct and bound at the time of publication. All maps are in early outline colour as published. Minor spotting, otherwise a fine example.
