Description

lithograph title page.

Frontispiece view from ‘Journal des Voyages et des Aventures de terre et de mer’, Dimanche 18 Septembre 1898, No. 94, published in Paris. This image accompanied the extract from the book of A. de Geriolles : “Manila- Dans le Pacifique” , excerpts of which were pre-published in this French Weekly, created in Paris in July 1877 and discontinued in 1949, after several ownership and editor changes. It mixed realistic tales of travel and exploration with incredible fictions, all abundantly illustrated, often in a fantastic way.
