COSTUME PLATES. EYRIÈS, Jean Baptiste Benoît. La Chine, ou Costumes, moeurs et usages des chinois, suite de gravures coloriées avec leurs explications par J. B. B. Eyriès. Paris, Librairie de Gide Fils, [c:a 1822].
8vo. 25,5 x 17,5 cm. (4), 16, (132) pp. With 66 coloured engraved plates. A bit worn red contemporary half calf.
Title on spine also "La Chine...", but in fact only 4 of the plates depict Chinese costumes. The remaining plates are of Turkish (16), Austrian (16), English (16), and Russian (14) costumes. Each plate can be paired with a two-page text (the 132 unpaginated), but the volume seems to be a compilation from different parts of Eyriè´s work "Costumes, moeurs at usages de tous les peuples".
