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. Trémaux (18181895), a French architect, explorer, and Orientalist photographer, traveled extensively through North Africa and the Mediterranean, recording his findings in drawings, watercolors, and photographs. 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. .

VG. ** Provenance: "From the library of Exbury House. Lionel de Rothschild (1882-1942) bought the Exbury estate in 1919 with the proceeds from the sale of his uncle Alfred's house at Halton which he had inherited. It was Lionel's gardening passion which led him to choose the Exbury estate with its 2600 acres. Lionel remodelled Exbury House with neo-Georgian designs by William Jenkins, and he created an idyllic family home bounded by the New Forest, The Solent and the Beaulieu river for his wife, Marie-Louise Beer (a great-great-niece of the composer Meyerbeer) and his young family, Rosemary, Edmund, Naomi, and Leopold." - See Wikipedia *** "Leopold de Rothschild CVO (22 November 1845 29 May 1917) was a British banker, thoroughbred race horse breeder, and a member of the prominent Rothschild family."
