Auvergne - MICHEL (Adolphe). Old Auvergne and Velay. History, archaeology, customs, topography. Moulins, Imprimerie de P.-A. Desrosiers, 1843-1847. 4 volumes in 3 vols. and an atlas in-folio, red half-chagrin with corners, spine ribbed and decorated (period binding). Some spotting. Moisture stain on second plate of atlas. A monumental and splendid publication in the spirit of the Ancien Bourbonnais, by the same author, and the great Taylor and Nodier series. This is the first "picturesque" description of the still isolated and remote province of Auvergne in the first third of the 19th century. The addition of Velay, the northernmost part of Languedoc, was not necessary, but set a precedent for the mental association of this province with Auvergne, a confusion that persists to this day. A complete copy of the 144 lithographed plates, including the title and map, and of the last volume devoted to Velay bound after volume 3. Well complete with the large map, which tends to be missing. Bound with the extremely rare and spectacular folded poster (80 x 60) at the head of the atlas (Vicaire V, 806-808). A very good and rare copy, virtually free of foxing.
