The text is in the original French language. This volume has the text leaves tipped onto stubs so that the spectacular plates are fully visible and the huge double-page plates are cinematic in their effect.

First edition of this charming illustrated album on the celebrated 16th century French King. 72 pages, frontispiece, 36 chromolithograph illustrations including 28 full-page, 4 double-page plates and 4 tipped in plates Many of the illustrations overlay the text, and the leaves are all mounted on linen guards.
