First edition of this occasional text, illustrated with 4 plates outside the text.

Spine faintly faded, a rare and attractive copy.

Archbishop of Algiers from 1867, Charles Lavigerie (1825–1892) would become in 1884 Primate of Africa through his exceptional accumulation of titles, including the restored See of Carthage.

He took an early interest in the excavations of the Carthage site.
