La Terre et les Mers, ou description physique du globe. Ouvrage contenant 170 vignettes dessignées par K. Girardet, Lebreton, ... et 20 cartes physiques
A popular physical geography of the globe by Louis Figuier, published in Paris in 1864 for general readers, with 170 wood-engraved vignettes after Karl Girardet and Lebreton plus 20 physical maps. The plates are tonal landscape engravings of cascades, glacier snouts, limestone terraces and river sources, often with a tiny standing figure for scale, useful for rock and ice textures, layered mountain silhouettes and framed vignette blocks set in text.
