In folio; 32 plates hors texte lithographed on mounted chine or engraved (including frontispiece), a double-page plan, the large view of the façade of Angoulême cathedral which is often missing, and a large folding map in fine. Frequent foxing.

In addition to his sometimes sulphurous religious writings, such as "le Maudit", Canon Michon was interested in Charente archaeology. His works include a "Histoire de l'Angoumois" with M. Vigier, a "Monographie du château de La Rochefoucauld" and this excellent "Statistique".
