Milano, Batelli and Fanfani ,1818. Single leaf, folio-sized (28.1 x 21.5 cm) printed on one side. Printed surface 20 x 14 cm; [AND] a same-sized leaf with accompanying text. = Horace-Benedict de Saussure (1740-1798) was the first important Swiss mountaineer and glaciologist. He published the results of his activities in his famous "Voyage dans les Alpes" (1779-1796). The illustration is by the French, Monaco-born artist Jean-François Bosio (1764-1827). He worked in Milan using the name Giovanni Battista Bosio. The accessory biography, simply titled "Orazio Benedetto di Saussure" in one, similar sized leaf (printed on both sides) has been added. Some very light soiling to the outermost margins, otherwise a very good, clean copy.
