About This Item
Paris: R. Lebrasseur, 1850. Decorative Boards. Very Good. A lovely mid 19th century color plate book, with 22 chromolithographs plus title page. Oblong octavo, navy-blue boards, with decorative blindstamping and brigh gilt-titling ("Voyage de Paris a Versailles") at the front panel. The 1850 1st edition, published by R. Lebrasseur of Paris, the lithography executed by Becquet Freres, also of Paris. A bright, very presentable copy, with light staining to the boards and offsetting at the pastedowns and the endsheets. All of the plates, save 2 or 3 (which show just a touch of spotting encroaching along their margins), are clean and very sharp.
