The Black Indies by Jules Verne. Illustrations by Férat. Paris, Bibliothèque d'Éducation et de Récréation, J. Hetzel et Cie, sd (1877). Large single in-8°. Publisher's full carmine red percaline "à la grenade". Plate signed A. Souze and binding by Lenègre. Blue endpapers. Printed by Gauthier-Villars. First illustrated edition and first simple cardboard concomitant with the one "with the initials JV-JH". Covers perfectly consolidated. Some foxing. Notebooks slightly out of order. Otherwise, a very nice copy with superb golds. Unknown title of Jauzac in single volume, and the second one we meet after the one of the Pierre Jacob collection!
