The author was born in Montreal, but fled with his family to France during the Great Deportation and eventually served as a diplomat in Hungary and Cairo. He produced several collections of costume prints; this one is rare complete, with hundreds of plates by Labrousse after his original drawings. Volume 5 deals with the Americas, including the Pacific Islands. Colas 1292; Forbes I 264 (vol 5 only); Hiler, p.390; Lipperheide 41; Sabin 75487.
