First illustrated edition with 82 drawings by Tiret-Bognet, and a colored map of the Saint Lawrence River course. EX catalogue in fine condition for 1890.
Binding with the 2 elephants of Lenègre type 3. Back cover of Lenègre type e. This binding was only known in red. Some scattered foxing on very white paper. This edition bears an added label on the corrected spine, Une famille sans nom, becoming Famille sans nom with the new label.
