Description :
Superb historical set of the Larousse Monthly Illustrated (Universal Encyclopedic Review), edited under the direction of Claude Augé. This lot comprises the first complete and homogeneous series of 7 large main volumes covering the pivotal period from 1907 to 1928, as well as 1 volume of supplement/tables.
