Description

Volume one of  Année Sainte, ou Vies des Saints pour tous les jours de l’année, including the Vie de Jesus-Christ. January – March. The text is printed in French and utilises archaic spellings such as étoit and avoit, indicative of a late 18th or early 19th-century printing. The volume features a woodcut illustration of a sailing vessel and decorative initials. The book is bound in full brown leather with raised bands on the spine. Accompanying the volume is a collection of 19th-century carte-de-visite portrait photographs. These photographs bear the marks of photographers in Liège, Belgium, including Al. Moyen at Rue du Haut-Pont 51 and H. Dandoy.
