GALERIE GÉOGRAPHIQUE HISTORIQUE ET INTÉRESSANTE DES QUATRE PARTIES DU MONDE.. Contenant Tout ce qu'il y a de plus remarquable Sur les Moeurs et les usages des peuples...
Paris: Le Fuel/ Delaunay, n.d., ca. 1813. This carefully preserved juvenile geography book centers, in particular, on the city of Paris and the world that emanates from there. Thus, its four maps show, successively: the world; Europe; the French Empire and Kingdom of Italy; and metropolitan Paris. Within the text, special attention and detail is given to the descriptions of Parisian streets, bridges, street names, historic buildings and churches, and the private residences of its famous persons. For the young reader, the history and texture of Paris is placed at the center of the world. There are, of course, small sections on Spain; Portugal; Italy; Venise; Switzerland; Germany; Bavaria; Prussia;Bohemia and Moravia;Denmark; Norway; Sweden; Russian; Asia; Persia; China; Egypt; Africa; and the Artic and Antartic regions, along with many others. The engraved frontispiece shows a young boy receiving gifts and honors from the figure of L'Étude (Study). This appears to be the first and only edition; in OCLC we find only one copy at the New York Public Library. Geography for Children 32mo (10.5 x 7 cm); (vi) + engraved frontispiece + 204 pp. + 3 double-page + 1 triple page maps with outline coloring + 1 double page alphabetical table.
Original pink paper-covered boards, a.e.g.; the faintest occasional foxing; in original matching pink paper covered slip-case, very faintly hand- soiled. A lovely copy.
