An attractive copy of the first edition of the first major French work on India in fine contemporary hand-colouring, dedicated to Paul de Demidoff, chamberlain to the Russian Emperor. It was published in 24 parts of six text leaves and six lithographic plates each, comprising a total of 144 lithographic plates mostly by Charlet and Motte after drawings by Geringer, Bardel, Feuchere, Midy, Weber, Beau, Llanta, Chenal, Thenot, Dollet, Saint-Aulaire. Finely coloured, highlighted in gouache and with gum arabic, these plates illustrate divinities, sacred rites, scenes of daily life, costumes and professions. Eugene Burnouf was a professor at the College de France, philologist and specialist in cuneiform and Sanskrit, and published some of the first modern studies on Indian Buddhism. Bobins II, 226; Brunet, I, 1412; Colas, 490; Vicaire I, 979.
