FIRST DRAW with the particularities pointed out by Carteret: the title includes below the line "engraved by the most distinguished artists", a long English net, the plate 21 "Audience au Grand Châtelet" (p. 189) exists with the fault "Audiance", which is rare, the plate 15 "Paris as the crow flies" (p. 113).
Remarkable publication, rare and in very good condition.
