Paris, Didot, 1820–1825. 2 folio volumes, olive-colored long-grain half-maroquin, spine with 5 richly decorated raised bands (Thouvenin). Vicaire, VII-763 /// I. (4f.)-131-(5f.), 89 plates / II. (1f.)-190-(2f.), 153 plates First edition of this monumental work devoted to Normandy, published in 39 installments and illustrated with a frontispiece (missing here) and 242 lithographs, numbered 1 through 232. Plate 232 is erroneously numbered 182. Includes additional plates numbered 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 12, 13bis, 17, 138bis, and 170 bis. Most of the lithographs were executed by Engelman after works by Villeneuve, Fragonard, Bourgeois, Joly, Jorand, etc. The work can be supplemented by a third volume published 53 years later, in 1878, which is not included here, as is often the case. The binding is scuffed with a worn spine. The frontispiece is missing; there is restoration on plate 108.
