Sur les chronomètres, ou montres marines

First edition, printed in a very small number of copies, of this extremely rare offprint (cf. Tardy 338 for the complete edition. Not listed by Polak.)

Some minor foxing, a handwritten letter "R" in ink at the upper right corner of the front wrapper.

A pleasant copy.

This text on chronometers and marine watches is an excerpt from the author's main work: "L'Art de connaître les pendules et les montres", the full title of which appears on the cover. Henri Robert, "clockmaker to the Queen and the princes," supplied chronometers to the Royal Navy.
