Mémoire sur les bateaux à vapeur des Etats-Unis D'Amerique

£3,750 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

Uncommon especially with the atlas volume. Prepared by the officers of the French Ministry of the Marine, this thorough dissertation on contemporary American steamboats was part of a wider effort to track advances in the field. The combination of technical drawings, history, location and detailed analysis of the boats makes this undeniably the best work in the field. Sabin, 44523; Polak, 6384; Howes, M282.
