A two-volume series describing the emblematic places in Paris dedicated to science. The experts who contributed to their writing have made a point of gathering all the knowledge they had at their disposal at the time in order to share it with readers. Humans, animals and plants, no field of life would no longer hold any secrets for the reader in the mid-19th century. And let's not forget the beautiful illustrations that help us better assimilate the lessons learned.
In good condition.
