Fifth edition of the "New edition, enlarged with the Description of all new Monuments, Buildings & other Curiosities, with the changes made over the past approximately twenty years," to which is joined a supplementary volume by the same author, likewise printed in 1771, drawn from the "latest edition." The first work is thought to have been that of Claude-Marin Saugrain, before being taken up by Georges-Louis Le Rouge.
A complete copy with all 44 engravings, some folded, such as the map of France, of substantial size. It features the Bastille fortress, twenty-eight years before its fall, as well as the château of Saint-Cloud, still standing.
