Léon Pâris, who signed all the plates, is most probably Prosper-Léon Pâris (1847-1900), younger son of the famous vice-admiral François-Edmond Pâris (1806-1893), who in 1872 served on the frigate La Bellone as executive officer to Rear-Admiral Siméon Bourgois, Commander-in-Chief of the South Atlantic Naval Division. The engravings are mainly devoted to Africa, but also include images of South America, Oceania and Europe (detailed list of plates available on request). Polak, 7346 and 7347, mentions only the last part of this suite, published under the title Vie du Marin, whose two editions include 9 and 16 engravings respectively.
