42 volumes [of 80]. George Conrad Walther, Dresden/Didot, Paris 1747-53.12mo [9.5 x 16 cm]. Illustrated with hundreds of prospects, views and maps, many foldable. Bound in contemporary full calf bindings. Bookplates inserted. Bindings somewhat rubbed to the boards and spines. All hinges solid. Volume 40 with small part of the spine missing at the top. Tome field of volume 1 missing. Spinetitle and tome field of volume 10 missing. Still a rather nice, tight set, with the interior crisp and not appearing to have been read, and the maps in excellent condition.

* The 12mo edition (but still in 8vo size) of this monumental collection of contemporary travel accounts from the world known to the Europeans at the time. The original 20 volume quarto edition was published from 1746-53, but this 80-volume edition was not finished until 1780, so the 33 years run makes it very difficult to find in its entirity.
