Quarto. (vi), 54pp. Abbe's many wood engravings of the famed city, its motifs, architecture, and geographical placement, are printed in black, gray, and red, and range from diagrams to maps to yeoman at their bows. The result is a delightful graphic rendition of Viollet-le-Duc's history of the city, which was a key defensive position for France and the Spanish border. Bound in half silver silk, half black paper over boards with paper spine label and paper coat of arms at front cover. Glancing bumps to outer corners, else near fine.
