Blackmer, 453. Not in Atabey or Koç

First edition in French, lavishly illustrated with 34 engraved plates and maps inspired by the works of Boschini and Coronelli, and with 43 text illustrations.

"Dapper himself was not a traveller; his books on the Morea and Archipelago are compiled from other sources and are of especial interest for their plates. It is possible that Dapper produced these two works in the light of the Venetian successes against the Turks" (Blackmer).

Fine copy.
