D.M.F. de M
La Geografia en Laminas Y Mapas, con el Retrato y Descripcion de los Usos, Trages Y Costumbres de Todas Las Naciones.
A very good copy of this rare illustrated Spanish edition of the costumes of the world, after the original French publication La Géographie en estampes ou moeurs et costumes des différens peuples de la terre (Paris, 1815). The French edition seems to have been republished several times, but this is the only edition of this Spanish translation of which we are aware. Each of the four main sections - Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas - has its own engraved map as a section head, the maps with interesting animals in the surrounds.
