La nouvelle methode raisonnée du blason

New edition, illustrated with a frontispiece and 32 plates (several heraldic figures) as well as numerous in-text coats of arms.
Contemporary binding in full speckled blonde sheep. Spine with five raised bands decorated with gilt compartments and fleurons, and a blonde sheep title-label. All edges marbled. Head rubbed, tail missing with damage to spine, corners bumped.
A great classic among heraldry manuals, the work was republished many times for its ease of use and precision.
