Plates by Georges M. Dupuy., M.D.
London: Ballière, Tindall & Cox, 7 & 8 Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, 1942 (Reprinted).
Tall folio, original illustrated boards; pp. (ii)+ 24 + (1)(ads); five chromolithographic plates on one folding sheet, as called for. A few signs of wear.

Engraving. Sheet: 110 x 130mm (4¼ x 5''). Creasing in right corner.
A view showing the Great Comet of 1811 which was visible for around 260 days. The comet had an impact on non-astronomers such as John Linnell and William Blake and was seen as a portent to Napoleon's invasion of Russia and the War of 1812. Because 1811 was such a good year for wine, merchants marketed 'comet wine' for years afterwards.
