Five weeks in a balloon / Journey to the center of the Earth by Jules Verne. Illustrations by Riou and Montaut then Riou alone. Paris, Bibliothèque d'Éducation et de Récréation, J. Hetzel Éditeur, 1867 (1868 for the hardback).
Large double in-8°. Publisher's personalized full vermilion red percaline binding with the words "Les Voyages Extraordinaires / Jules Verne" on the first cover. Lenègre Binder. Gilt edges. Blue velvet endpapers. Printed by Jules Bonaventure.
Second edition illustrated and enlarged with 26 new captioned engravings for Cinq semaines en ballon and first illustrated edition for Voyage au center de la Terre. Second collective binding without the general frontispiece.
Covers very skilfully restored. Otherwise, a beautiful and very pleasant copy of this second binding with the first large in-8° printings for both titles. Paradoxically, very rare in red!
