Large folio (36 × 52 cm). In publisher's green cloth, with a large lithographed, colored title vignette on the front panel. Rare first edition of this atlas, part of Trémaux's monumental architectural survey of Africaan early attempt to integrate photography into architectural illustration. Originally issued as part of Trémaux's Voyage au Soudan oriental, this atlas represents a significant early effort to document African architecture through direct observation.

While some copies of this work contain original mounted photographs, this copy includes only lithographic reproductions. Trémaux's pioneering efforts contributed to the architectural and visual history of the region, making this one of the earliest publications to incorporate photographic documentation into illustrated travel accounts. .
