Luchon: Chez Sarthe, 1869. Scarce First edition thus. With 18 lithographs drawn by Pierre Gorse and a fold-out map of the vicinity of Luchon, plus beautiful lithographed frontispiece. The lithographs have the background in sepia and are numbered from 1 to 18 (except frontispiece & map) total of 20 lithographs. Complete. Original brown buckram boards, with gilt titles and design.

An attractive work, the boards are clean, with a little bumping to the corners only. Slight fading to the front bottom edge. Inside, the text pages are quite foxed - but the lithographs are in good, clean original condition. Pencil notes to the inside rear board. Overall a very nice copy. 63 pp. + plates and map. 260 x 180 mm (10¼ x 7 inches).
