Paris, Ludovic Baschet, 1876 and 1877, 4 vol. in-folio, publisher's binding in red half-chagrin with corners (defects to the bindings, traces of rubbing, missing parts). Very good condition inside, no damaged photos which is rare. Complete with 52 portraits, photographs pasted on cardboard drawn in photoglyphics by Gloupil, Nadar (Thiers, Sand, Coppée), Carjat (Lesseps, Hugo, Gambetta, Claretie), Petit (Erckmann-Chatrian) etc. With large format photographs of works of art, small photographs of portraits and works of art pasted on, facsimiles of the handwriting, introductory texts by Camille Pelletan, Flor O'Square, etc. Head of the collection, the first two years of this publication which appears until 1884. Photoglyptics is an opto-mechanical process of reproduction and printing of photographic images invented by the British Walter Bentley Woodbury in 1864. It is an unalterable photomechanical printing process intended to replace silver prints and allowing the distribution in large numbers at lower costs. For thirty years, this process was extremely successful because it was practically impossible to distinguish the photoglyphic print from the original photograph.
