PREVOST D'EXILES (Antoine-François). General History of Trav - Lot 94
PREVOST D'EXILES (Antoine-François). General History of Travel, or A New Collection of All Accounts of Voyages by Sea and Land. Paris: Didot, 1746–1791, in-4, fawn calfskin, decorated ribbed spine, red edges (contemporary binding). A remarkable illustrated series featuring 639 maps and engravings. Very rare, including Volume XX, *Continuation of the General History of Voyages*, published in Brussels by J. L. de Boubers in 1791—21 years after Volume XIX. This easily explains the slight difference in the spine decoration of Volume XX. In Volume I, map no. 13 is missing and map no. 14 is duplicated. Plate 4 of Volume V is missing, as is plate 11 in Volume XIX. Spine, headbands, and corners rubbed.
