Maucomble History of the Antiquities of the City of Nîmes and its Surroundings, 1806 Edition
Was sold for 4.50 francs of the time, which is approximately a quarter of a Napoleon, 20 francs in gold, or about 180 euros at current rates. In the book, you will see several prices expressed in sous (5 cents = 1 sou).
14 plates of 'monuments' antiques. I have checked everything; all the pages and plates are present and well bound.
Some passages that I particularly enjoyed: 'Year 3 of the French scum', an axis of 67 toises and 3 feet… etc.
But of course, the most interesting are these monuments, most often barely discovered and partly invisible now.
P 96 pages.
Format 20.5 x 13. Paperback, whose main qualities are being complete, with a solid binding, very rare foxing, mostly without foxing. There are folds, small stains, some dirt, a missing corner on the cover… see photos.
