Europe - Crimea - Album de la Guerre de l'Orient. (Spine title). 57 colored lithographic plates with a tone plate. Paris, Lenercier et al., ca. 1855/56. 26 x 34 cm. Contemporary half-leather binding (worn, spine reinforced). A collection of finely colored views, primarily depicting the Crimean War. Includes battle and harbor scenes, a panorama of Istanbul, several views of Sevastopol, and a bird’s-eye view of the Black Sea. The plates are drawn roughly equally from series published by Wild (“Affaires d’Orient”) and Morier, with incomplete numbering; a few also bear the publisher’s mark “Langlumé.” The lithographs were mostly executed by Lemercier. - Some foxing and finger stains; captions at the bottom are occasionally slightly cropped or marginally trimmed.
