Scrapbook with ca. 1200 pasted, chromolitographic plates with relief,

collected and pasted by "MD" (monogram of flowers on the first page), ca. 1890-1900, the album of gilt and decorated cloth with title "Album de Collections" on the front board, oblong folio.

Album leaves here and there with defects due to the fragility of the paper, the scraps themselves mostly in very good condition. Bookblock trifle shaky. Lovely collection of these pictures known for their lavish colours, including several large examples. Incl. 4 full-page plates of shells, flowers, children, animals, etc.
