Defects: Corners of 1st flyleaf and 1st blank page of vol. 1 gnawed, very scattered light marginal spotting in the main parts of the works, more marked in vol. 1, tear of 15 cm at the fold of the plate "danse des dervis" (dance of the dervishes), tiny worm work without affecting the text in the upper margin of the last 2 parts of vol. 4, small leather loss at the upper head of vol. 2, a few small tears and epidermis on the boards, a few corners dulled. NEW EDITION of this IMPORTANT ILLUSTRATED WORK, one of the most beautiful of the 18th century. It contains 4 headpieces and 264 steel-engraved plates, 41 of which are double-page or folding. A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE, in a period binding in GOOD CONDITION, complete with all the plates; the scattered spotting throughout the work has not weakened the quality of the fine laid paper and is very often marginal. ¶ Brunet, I, 1743 - Sabin, 4931 - Cohen, 134, for the original edition of 1733.
