x2. Bruxelles, Société des Beaux-Arts, De Wasme, 1842, in-folio, 52 x 38 cm, (8)nn pp + 37 two-toned lithographies depicting mostly church interiors of the Low Countries and Germany. Bound in contemporary half leather, worn and spine missing, some foxing throughout, mostly at the text-pages and the margins of the plates, most of the plate images are free of foxing, printed on heavy board like paper. Louis Haghe de Tournai, lithographer to Queen Victoria , had a series of views on the continent reprinted in Brussels in three volumes each containing ca. 30 plates. (1840-1850). The plates were most probably copied by Stroobant and Ghémar. The first album contained 27 plates and was already remade in 1842. Our copy is one of these and according ''Van der Marck, Romantische Boekillustratie pp. 165'' this second edition is from the lithographic point of view certainly as good as the first. Van der Marck even regrets that the second and third series were never reprinted, because the designs of our reprint are markedly better. Copy with the holograph ex-libris of the Antwerp painter Hendrik Frans Schaefels (1827 - 1904).
