Recherches sur les antiquités romaines dans la vallée de la Moselle de Trèves

First edition of the French translation prepared by Grauert from the 1835 German original, specially revised by the author (hence the somewhat ambiguous designation of "new edition" on the title page and upper cover, as there was no previous French edition).

Illustrated with five engraved plates and eight vignette illustrations.

Contemporary half black calf with corners, spine with four raised bands decorated with gilt and blind fillets, slight rubbing to the spine, gilt fillet frames to the marbled paper boards, marbled endpapers and pastedowns, original pink wrappers preserved, engraved bookplate pasted to a pastedown, contemporary binding signed J. Pernot at the foot of the spine.

Scattered foxing.

Founder of the municipal library of Trier, Johann Hugo Wyttenbach (1767–1848) was a local scholar deeply involved in the documentation of Moselle heritage.

Copy from the library of the Ghent bibliophile Théodore de Valenzi (1813–1855), who particularly collected macaronic and burlesque writings, with his engraved bookplate pasted to a pastedown.

Copy preserved in a contemporary binding by J. Pernot.
