Description
Les Indes-Noires / Le Chancellor / Martin Paz by Jules Verne. Illustrations by Férat (Les Indes-Noires and Martin Paz) and Riou (Le Chancellor). Paris, Bibliothèque d'Éducation et de Récréation, J.

Otherwise, a very decent copy of this rarity from the collection of Dr. Camplez, here in a remarkable shade. In the December 1999 sale, where this same volume was sold, the expert Michel Rœthel indicated that it was probably a unique copy. Indeed, it seems that no other copy has appeared since...
