    Oblong folio (325 x 416 mm). 18 lithographed plates. Bound in original paper boards with printed cover title. An excellent suite of lithographs showing the conquest of Algeria by the French after drawings by the renowned artist Auguste Raffet (1804-60), first published in Paris by Gihaut frères in 1837-38. The prints depict two famous military expeditions: the failed attempt by General Clauzel's troops to capture Constantine in 1836 (six plates), and the second operation commanded by General Damrémont, who succeeded in seizing the city in 1837 (twelve plates). Each plate is captioned in three languages: French, German and English. - First published in two volumes, each including a lithographed title-page. The present edition lacks title-pages, but is otherwise complete. - Covers somewhat spotted; paper torn in places, particularly along spine; some creases near upper right corner. Interior somewhat spotted throughout, not affecting the quality of the lithographs. - OCLC 601139813.…

    Couverture rigide. Condition: Bon état. In-folio, demi-chagrin vert ép., dos lisse muet, titre en lettres dorées sur le premier plat, 21 lithographie sous serpente sur onglet. Menus frottements, légère mouillure marginale en pied sinon bel état des planches. Belle réunion des suites de Raffet (1804-1860) sur ces deux fameuses expéditions militaires : en 1836, la tentative des troupes du général Clauzel qui se solda par un échec retentissant (six sujets), puis en 1837, la seconde opération commandée par le Général Damrémont qui parvint à s'emparer de la cité (12 sujets). De cette seconde série, il manque le dernier sujet : la Revue après la prise de Constantine. On trouve en sus le Combat d'Oued-Alleg (31 sept. 39) et trois portraits qui ouvrent le recueil : Le colonel du 17° Légers ; le Duc D'Aumale ; le drapeau du 17° Légers. in-folio.…
