In-folio, blue paper boards, smooth gold-stamped spine, burgundy title page (modern binding). Rare album, complete with 48 finely colored engraved plates, showing the octroi barrier pavilions of the Mur des fermiers généraux, built by Claude-Nicolas Ledoux. The Mur des Fermiers Généraux was one of Paris's enclosures, built just before the French Revolution, from 1784 to 1790.
