Zena Chiara Masud

First edition of a beautifully colour-illustrated account of the city of Tunis and its surroundings, by the 
French watercolour artist Charles Lallemand (1826-1904), who was responsible for both the illustrations 
and the text. The text is divided into 20 chapters covering various subjects, such as mosques, 
religion, antiquities, coffeeshops and Muslim women, all with relevant illustrations. Many include 
Islamic decorative patterns in addition to views of architectural or cultural sites and costume prints.

The condition is good, although the top and the bottom of the spine show a little wear and tear. The gold 
print and the relief on the front cover are nicely intact. The gilt-edging of the book block is in good 
condition. There is a little chafing on the extremities of the corners. There is a small stamp of 'Noord-
Hollandsche levensverzekerings-mij N.V.' on the first flyleaf. There is some brownish staining on 
page 1 near the spine. The colours of the watercolour illustrations are still very vivid and enjoyable.
