Paris: Imprimerie Impériale, MDCCCLXI [1861, but 1862].
Plate volume only (lacking 3 text volumes); oblong folio, original half morocco gilt; pp. iv + 5 half-titles, 87 numbered mixed-method plates. Binding worn and faded.
The cows of Europe, divided into five regions: the British Isles, Holland & Denmark, Switzerland and Germany, the Empire of Austria and France. Many of the plates are copied from photographs by Adrien Nadar and artists like J. Mélin, Emile van Marcke and Rosa and Isodore Bonheur. The images are copied onto the plate using heliography, then manually enhanced using methods including soft ground etching, mezzotint and aquatint, and finished off with a lithographic background tint. The work usually contains five maps, which are not present here. As there is no evidence they were ever included it is likely they were folded into the text volumes in this issue.
