Description
Reynaud (Léonce) - Mémoire sur l'éclairage et le balisage des côtes de France. Paris, Imprimerie Impériale 1864. 2 vols. In-4° (for the text) and in-folio (for the atlas) in contemporary green half chagrin, special lighthouse iron in the centre of the first cover of both volumes, 4 ff, 576 pp, 2 ff, 6 pp, large fold-out map of lighthouses on the coasts of France and 39 plates mounted on tabs, some of which are fold-outs. First edition of this monumental work, which presents an accurate picture of all the knowledge available at the time on the technical aspects of lighting, lighthouse construction and beaconing. Léonce Reynaud supervised the construction of many lighthouses, some of which are still among the jewels in our coastal architectural heritage. In particular, he was responsible for the construction of the Héaux de Bréhat lighthouse and the Baleines de Ré lighthouse. A good complete copy from the Chasseloup-Laubat library with his bookplate. Slight foxing, angular paper loss to the first plate.
