Plate "La Libarse" bound at the end of volume II instead of in volume I (page 36) and with 2 additional plates not carried in the table (Château de Garney and Château de Pujols). Contemporary long-grain green ½ chagrin, smooth spine, titles and tomaisons in a gilt rocaille frame. A good copy in a pleasant binding of the time. This work is well complete with its 288 plates. It is rare enough to be underlined because some of them are missing most of the time. Portraits, details of monuments but above all an irreplaceable collection of views of towns and villages of the Landes, Gers, Gironde and Lot et Garonne in the middle of the 19th century. The views are lively and attractive.
