About This Item
This French-language study of the geology of Louisiana was published in 1860 in New Orleans and Paris. Four folding maps and two double-page multi-image plans; and errata. Includes a descriptive bibliography of Louisiana maps, 1685-1858. Three-quarter leather binding; spine missing; wear to cover includes very bad rubbing of corner tips so that the leather has worn through. Text clean and without foxing. As a scientist, Raymonod Thomassy (1810-1863) focused on the geology of Louisiana, but also studied the salinity of the Atlantic Ocean during numerous crossings. An entrepreneur, he created salt works in Louisiana and Georgia.
