Description
(*) THE HOLY GRAIL A copy of the MICHELIN RED GUIDE for France, published in 1900; the copy is in good overall condition, with very slight wear to the parcaline cover; it features a very interesting and striking detail: a magnificent watermark appears on the sheet printed with the advertisement “AUTO-GARAGE-BELLECOUR LYON”, which is pasted onto page 2; COVER DETACHED; the same feature appears at the end of the volume on the inside back cover, and on page 399—which bears the ‘KEY TO THE SYMBOLS USED FOR THE CLASSIFICATION OF TOWNS’—a watermark shows silhouettes that appear to be dancing in a children’s circle... In good condition for its age...
