The following interesting series of geological sites of basalt formations we bought as a mixed lot. They were obviously accompanying a text, which was not in the lot. In spite of unrelenting research, we could not find information about the emergence. The etchings were done by various engravers, whose first names are not given. This work came incomplete into our hands. We show the available images and list the titles. We do omit the accentuation peculiar to the French language to allow for easy reading the international computer spelling. We ask our French customers and friends for forgiveness! All images are well printed and sharply defined. Some margins show traces of age and use, such as little repaired tears, a little smudging, possibly a little hole frayed edges and dog-ears. In general the condition is good, however. Any more serious flaws will me individually mentioned. The copper etchings can be dated anywhere between 1780 to 1820. Page size is: is approximately 23 x 34.5 cm (9 x 13.5"). The images are all approximately 16 x 27 cm (6 .3 x 10.6"). The price for each print is $ 145.00.
