[INDOCHINE] Annuaire de l'Indo-Chine française pour l'année 1896. Première partie : Cochinchine

First edition, illustrated with 10 large folding plates hors texte.

First part: Cochinchina; section covering exclusively Cochinchina (the second part, devoted to Annam and Tonkin, bears the Hanoi imprint), published since 1889 as a continuation of the Annuaire de la Cochinchine (1865–1888).

It was only in 1899 that the two separate parts of this colonial directory were merged to form the Annuaire général de l'Indo-chine française (1899–1925), which later became the Annuaire administratif de l'Indochine (1926–1943).

Spine ends repaired with adhesive reinforcements; a scratch to the upper cover with minor marginal tears.

Rare.
