CHAPUY, Nicolas Marie Joseph (1790-1858). Le Moyen-age monumental et archéologique . Paris: A. Hauser, 1840-1843. 2 volumes, 2° (451 x 300mm). 4 lithographic wrappers and 421 lithographic plates. (Light spotting throughout, sometimes heavier to a few plates.) General letterpress text introduction with recent linen backing preserving original printed buff upper wrapper, contained in two 20th-century leather-backed portfolios and slipcases, with 2 original wrappers pasted to inside of portfolios, preserving one loose wrapper in 2nd volume. An accomplished architect and landscape painter, Chapuy is perhaps best known for his stunning lithographs.
