FERRY, Hypolite (XIX secolo) - La California Descrizione Geografica. Venice: Fontana, 1851.

Scarce first Italian translation of this description of California with an important focus on the nascent gold industry and the "gold rush".

8vo (205 x 140mm). 13 engraved plates, text within engraved border (some spotting, title partially detached). 19th century binding with cloth spine decorated in gold and marbled covers (light wear). Provenance: Giuseppe Orlando (ex libris). Copies examined have different collations and the lot is therefore sold as not subject to return although it contains more plates than copies previously sold at auction (RBH).
