Un tour en Sicile, 1833.

First edition illustrated with four plates of medals and one folding map with hand-colored outlines.

Contemporary half chocolate-brown sheep bindings, smooth spines slightly faded and decorated with triple gilt fillets, gilt letter "N" at foot of spines, marbled paper boards, marbled endpapers, speckled edges.

Minor rubbing to spines, occasional foxing.

A senior tax official, Baron de Nervo (1810–1897) authored several works on financial history, but was also an eclectic traveler: his account of a journey to Sicily undertaken in 1833 is decidedly uncommon.
