Sobre este artículo
3 leaves letterpress text and index, 48 collotype plates. Publisher's green cloth with gilt title on front board. All edges gilt, endpapers lined with multiple coloured snail marbled paper on combed marbled patterns. Oblong folio (455 x 335 mm). Spine-ends minimally frayed.
The personal copy of Monsieur François Philippe Voisin (1821-1918) (= Voisin Bey), his name stamped in gilt on front cover, a French engineer and from 1861 to 1870, the chief engineer of the Suez Canal Company during the construction of the Suez Canal, together with its director Ferdinand de Lesseps. The 48 plates show 76 collotypes (numbered 1 through 74 and 2 unnumbered collotypes), they depict views, portraits, seascapes, and the inauguration itself and showing on the other hand the canal (and its surroundings) on its entire length. One plate with small loss to lower outer corner (far away from image) else fine. It seems that the whole seemingly small print-run of this inauguration publication was given as a gift to an unspecified number of prominent guests of the inauguration festivities, each copy with the name of the recipient stamped in gilt on front cover.
