Title: Les champignons comestibles et vénéneux de la France.
Description: Paris, Baillière, 1891. 8vo (25.2 x 16.0 cm). viii, 156, [ii] pp.; 50 fine chromolithographed plates. Original decorated cloth with title on the front board and gilt title on the spine. Printed green endpapers (with Baillière titles). Protective transparent sleeve. = A fine atlas of the edible and poisonous mushrooms of continental France. The plates are signed by Léon Boyer but attributed to G. Gaulard on the title page. According to Volbracht the latter is the lithographer. An errata page on the thicker plate paper appears in the rear, mistakenly numbered "Pl. LI". Rather rare. Two paper slips with short mycological notes in an old hand loosely inserted. A number of text pages lightly spotted, plates mostly clean. Stafleu and Cowan, 696; Volbracht, 236.
