Two (2) Folio Volumes. Including 135 (of 136) photographic plates by Fred Boissonnas. Boissonnas photographed Acropolis after the conservations of 1885-90 (that removed all the post-classical ruins), memorializing the place as it has never looked since its days of ancient glory.

Original binding: engraved covers with cloth spine and cloth strips.  Printed in loose double-sheets, as issued. Second volume covers soiled, light spotting inside.

Magnificent edition presenting Parthenon by blending the scientific profile of Gustave Fougeres with the unique aesthetic style of Fred Boissonnas.

Rare edition in Very Fine condition.
