MONTÉMONT, Albert (1788-1861) - Bibliothèque universelle des voyages effectués par mer ou par terre dans les diverses parties du monde. Paris: Armand-Aubrée, 1833-36.

An interesting compendium of travels, illustrated with plates showing indigenous people and figures in local costume. The first 21 volumes include travel reports around the world, while the rest are divided geographically: Africa (volumes 22-30), Asia (31-37), America (38-42), Oceania (43), Europe (44- 46). In this copy the plates are bound in the final volume.

47 volumes including the final one gathering the plates, 8vo (204 x 125mm). Text volumes with woodcut vignettes on titles (apparently complete, but not subject to return as no reference collation has been found), 90 plates engraved by Choubard from drawings by L. Massard, F. Wachsmut and J. David finely handcoloured at the time (some spotting and light browning). Contemporary boards backed in calf decorated in blind and gilt (extremities lightly rubbed). Provenance: J.A. Terond (exlibris) - Bibliotheque Bougeries (stamp on some plates). (47)
