Paris, Hachette, 1856. 20 volumes. 13 by 21 cm. Red half-maroquin, 5-rib spine, period, speckled edges. Binding in excellent condition (a small stain on the lower cover of one volume, the only mentionable flaw, not serious). Scattered light foxing, otherwise very good condition inside. Two fold-out facsimile plates, including a facsimile of the Duke's holograph will, reproduced using the Photography of Furne fils, making this one of the first books to be illustrated with photography.
