Paris, J. B. Baillière, 1874. Folio (36.0 x 27.5 cm). 46 pp.; 110 lithographed plates with over 1,800 figures of which about 60 nicely tinted. Original blind-tooled cloth, with gilt title on the spine and front board.
The atlas of this most important and beautifully illustrated paleobotanical work. A smaller-sized text part was issued too, but is not included here. As usual some marginal foxing. Added: J. B. Baillière's 4 pp. octavo sales leaflet announcing this publication in 1869: "Deux volumes grand in-8o avec un atlas de 100 planches grand in 40 lithographiées", with an outline of its scope and a complete list of chapters and contents. Apparently the number of plates was subsequently increased to 110. Nissen BBI, 1757.
