Note

Suisse was the longest series in French, consisting of thirty editions starting in 1852 and ending in 1928. The coloured frontispiece displaying the coats of arms of the cantons of Switzerland was a feature of the six editions from 1854 to 1867. This volume contains very attractive coloured folding panoramas. Despite being incomplete this book is still a good reading copy.
