L.L. - [Original Photographs of the Pyrenees] Cauterets et ses Environs - 1890

Cauterets, ca. 1890. Small oblong folio (27.0 x 17.6 cm). A nice collection of 12 original mounted photographs (each circa 12.0 x 18.5 cm) of views of the Pyrenean mountains all with a border and printed name at the bottom. Original red cloth with gilt title on the front board. Original blue endpapers. All edges gilt. = Luxurious edition with original photographs mounted on strong cardboard sheets with printed ornamental borders in two colours. Includes a view down of the town from a hilltop, the "Nouveau pont d'Espagne", and "Lac de Gaube". Most photos bear a number and the initials "L. L.". The same title has been used for several later travel books, all without original photographs. A few spots to some photos and margins, but generally in good condition. Please note: The original photographs are bit less brown/yellow in reality (thus better) it was hard to make correct looking pictures in this case.
