Mœurs et caractères des peuples, Asie-Amérique-Océanie. Morceaux extraits de divers auteurs. [With illustrations
A French popular geography reader of 1879, compiled by Richard Cortambert from other authors' accounts of the manners and characters of peoples in Asia, America and Oceania, issued in Paris for general and school readers. Sixty full-page wood engravings, captioned in French, show grouped figures in regional dress, court interiors, and scenes of punishment and ceremony, useful for costume detail, crowd staging and grey tonal hatching.
