Garrigou, [T. É.] A.
Ibères, Ibérie. Étude sur l'origine et les migrations de ces Ibères, premiers habitants connus de l'occident de l'Europe.
Foix, Veuve Pomiès, 1884. 8vo (19.8 x 12.9 cm). xv, 183 pp. 20th-century Iberian style half morocco over marbled boards. Spine with four raised bands, and gilt title. Marbled endpapers. Original printed wrappers bound in.
A luxuriously bound copy of a rare work by the French industrialist, politician, journalist, mayor, architect, inventor, archaeologist, and anthropologist Thomas Émile Adolphe Garrigou (1802-1893), dealing with the origin of the first people to populate the Iberian Peninsula. Well-written and thought-provoking. The British Museum (NH) catalogue lists several of his works, but not this one. Original wrappers re-backed; otherwise, a very good, clean, complete copy.
