Description from the seller
Viajeros Modernos by Édouard Charton, published 1860 in Paris by Administración del Correo de Ultramar, X. de Lassalle y Melan. Historical work on significant travels and discoveries of the 15th and 16th centuries, with reports and historical depictions of early explorers and expeditions. The work was originally published in French and subsequently translated into Spanish. The edition was intended for the Spanish-speaking or Latin American market. Particularly interesting are the historical Mexican library and ownership stamps, which indicate earlier use in Mexico and give the book additional historical provenance. With a leather binding with a gold-embossed spine.
The binding is not in perfect condition due to age, but it remains stable and solid. Inside, age-related foxing and slight traces of mold have formed, which is not unusual for a book from the 19th century. The stains and traces do not affect readability or the text area. All pages are still legible and fully usable. Overall, this is an authentic antiquarian work with normal age-related signs of use.
