Lettres sur les révolutions du globe by Alexandre Bertrand, with a preface by Joseph Bertrand. Paris, Collection Hetzel, J. Hetzel éditeur, sd (1863 - mention of 6th edition).
In-18 in havana publisher's binding. Spine with five boxes. No mention of the binder. Moiré endpapers. White edges. No mention of the binder. Printed by Claye. Mention "Bibl. d'Éducation / et de / Récréation" at the foot of the spine.
This volume corresponds well to this short period (September-December 1863) when Hetzel produced fourteen in-18 volumes with ornate and personalized spines (see previous lot). Some of these titles were also produced with the inscription at the foot of the spine, but in a different typeface and with uncustomized boxes.
A very nice copy.
