Noël-Jacques Lefebvre-Duruflé was a manufacturer in Pont-Authou, a statesman, and a man of letters. In addition to his political roles as a deputy, minister, and member of the General Council, he is credited with literary works and this beautiful collection of illustrations of Normandy, his native region. His work was originally published under the title *A Picturesque Journey Through the Ports and Coasts of France*, but since the publisher, due to lack of success, limited the scope to Normandy, he subsequently changed the title to the one under which we present it here. Small repeated stamp dated 1928. Binding is damaged; the volume was previously water-damaged, with water stains in the corners along the inner margin of the entire volume, though these do not affect the plates.
