Description from the seller


A handsome copy of the first edition. The illustrations in the first edition comprised 14 plates, including 12 steel engravings (portrait of the author, engraved title page and 10 very fine reproductions of landscapes and cities along the Rhine) and two maps drawn and engraved by Tardieu (of the riverbank, from Koblenz to the mouth and from Konstanz to Koblenz). The plates were engraved by Outhwaite, Nyon, De Villiers and T. Doherty to the designs of Sandoz (for the portrait), Chapuy, Champin and Jules Noël. A handsome copy, in very good binding. Signs of wear in the form of light foxing.

See the photos, they are part of the description.
