A distinguished three large volumes photographic collection from the 19th century, featuring albumen prints photography bound in luxurious green morocco leather with gilded covers and marbled endpapers. 
Each spine bears the initials CDG and the Brentano's Paris designation, linking this archive to the prestigious American bookstore founded on the Avenue de l'Opéra in 1887. The volumes present a carefully curated geographical survey:
Volume 1 captures Provençal vues and landscapes by Mme Chabrier de Lafongt, Avignon, Arles, Marseille and Algerian landscapes
Volume 2 documents Italian treasures including Florence and Capri
Volume 3 records Sicilian antiquities of Messina and Syracuse.
A delightful pairing of 19th-century silver print artistry with the spirited story of Brentano's Paris—the American bookstore that refused to stay closed, bouncing back after wartime disruption to lead the charge in reviving transatlantic cultural commerce.
