Lonchamp 3362. One of the richest and most beautiful topographical works of the 18th century. Most of the views were made from sketches taken from nature. The text was written by the French General Baron Fidel de Zurlauben, who was also very interested in history. The complete edition of the monumental folio work with 227 views and numerous portraits took more than 8 years' work by the publisher de Laborde and was finished in 1788, shortly before the French revolution. Splendid copy in richly gilt red Morocco bindings.
