Description

Paris, P. Asselin, 1878. 8vo (19.7 x 12.5 cm). xi, 208 pp.; 20 (one double sized) hand-coloured wood-engravings. Later half-vellum over marbled boards. Title in red and black on the spine. = Rare example of a book with hand-coloured wood-engravings. The author, Gaston Percheron was a French veterinarian and natural history writer. He is perhaps best-known for his book on domestic cats, Le Chat (1885). The plates are not numbered consecutively but carry the opposite page number. However, copies may be bound with the plates in a different order and in different places. Fore edge uncut. In a modern but nice binding. Some spotting, mainly on the first and last few text pages; plates, however, cleaner. Nissen IVB, 715; Ronsil, 2314.
