Contact seller4-star sellerFirst edition. Three parts in three octavo volumes. xi,449 pp., text illustrations plus 14 plates; 198 pp., text illustrations, plus 15 plates; 287 pp, text illustrations plus 18 plates. The plates in all volumes are generally large fold-outs (diagrams, maps, photos, stereograms, plans, and topographical maps). The first two vol…umes are bound in contemporary half sheep and marbled paper over boards, with the original printed front wrapper bound-in, and a paper shelf label at the top of the gilt-titled, rubbed spines; the third volume is bound in quarter cloth and marbled paper over boards, hinges repaired and board edges rubbed. All plates are fine, with the exception of three plates in the first volume, two of which have a small stain to their blank margin, the other, a short tear at the fold, and one plate in the final part, which has slight chipping to the blank fore edge; many have their original tissue guards. In all, a very good or better, complete set. Beginning in 1849, Colonel Amié Laussedat devised a photographic method and instruments for use in projective geometry as applied to topographic and architectural measurements. Laussedat, experimented in aerial photographic surveying, using kites and ballons; in 1849, simultaneously, but separaetly, Nadar used a hot air ballon for aerial photography. This three part work is a compilation, with new material, of Laussedat's extensive research and writings on métrophotographie (photogrammetry) and aerial photography, and their histories. It includes his original designs for surveying instruments, cameras and lenses. See Hannavy, ENCYCLOPEDIA OF NINETEENTH-CENTURY PHOTOGRAPHY, p. 13 & 1081. Not listed by Roosens and Salu, who do mention several other related works by this author. OCLC locates approximately eleven complete sets, with no sets held by libraries in the United States.
