Sobre este artículo
Paris: Barilliere et Fils, 1860. Hardcover. 128 p., tables, boards. Bound in pebbled leather, gilt stamped title; all edges gilt. Large paper copy with extra wide margins. Possibly bound for presentation. First edition (reprinted later the same year) of this study on the (positive) influence of the Algerian climate on those suffering from chronic pulmonary illnesses (such as tuberculosis). The author was one of the medical doctors attached to Napoleon III. The report includes many tables, statistics, and sketches of life in Algiers, including mortality rates, nutrition, and dress. Closes by expressing a "debt of gratitude" to Algiers. The French invaded Algiers in 1830, and the area was still very much contested when this report was being compiled. French military expeditions into Algeria lasted until 1903. Algeria was a popular tourist destination for Europeans from the late 19th to early 20th century.
