Bibliothèque illustrée des voyages autour du monde par terre et par mer: Madagascar, l'Abyssinie, la Martinique, les mindes de diamants du Cap, les Nouvelles-Hébrides, Suriname, le Zambèze, les Anthropophages du Pérou, Yokohama et Tokio, le Brésil, les Bassoutos, les Fjords de Norvège, les Iles Marquises
This French illustrated travel anthology, edited by Charles Simond and published in 1897 by the Heidelberg University Library's holdings, gathers armchair voyages around the world to Madagascar, Abyssinia, Martinique, Suriname, Norway and the Marquesas for a general reading public. The wood-engraved pictures are mostly landscapes and village scenes, with palm-fringed coasts, mud-walled huts, rocky hillsides and caravans, drawn in fine parallel hatching that a designer could borrow for tropical or exotic motifs and vintage travel-poster layouts.
