[ARCHITECTURE] Victor BALTARD - Monographie des Halles Centrales de Paris construites sous le règne de Napoléon III et sous l'administration de M. le baron Haussmann
By A. Morel, Paris, 1863 - First edition of this important work presenting the Halles centrales project, then under construction, preceded by a historical overview of public markets in the capital.
Remarkable illustration, based on original plans by Victor Baltard, comprises 29 lithographed plates mounted on tabs, including 6 double-page plates, counting doubles, and one mounted on Chine.
Bound in contemporary half-chagrin, with slight tears and tears, rubbing to the spines. Good condition, however, solid binding. Interior fresh and complete with all plates, scattered foxing.
A very unusual first edition, a formidable testimony to the metamorphoses of Paris.
Large folio, (1) 36pp (1)
