New illustrated itineraries. Patented S.G.D.G. and registered. Paris, Imprimerie de Vaugirard, no date [1900]. 10 printed, accordion-folded itineraries preserved in 1 contemporary marbled paper case with printed label. Collection of 10 folding itineraries, printed on both sides and illustrated with photographs. This small case is part of a series of five paper cases (not present) with the list of itineraries printed on glued paper. 1st series, 1st original edition. This curious publication can be considered at once a guide to public transport, a guide to Paris, a photographic record and an interesting example of printing. It describes the routes, timetables and connections of omnibus lines, tramway lines and boat lines. Three of these lines have just been opened for the Universal Exhibition. (...) The texts that briefly describe each route are, in their own way, a guide to the capital. The little-known authors, E. Balysis and Jean Darcourt, provide not only well-known information on the monuments along the route, but also many picturesque and amusing notes. (...) [They] also give some of the addresses of the most famous shops (...) Each of the itineraries is illustrated by ten photographs, a set of 100 small-format images giving us a glimpse of Paris in the Belle àpoque. This is undoubtedly one of the most photographed documents to date (Alain Fourquier, Une curiosité unique en son genre in Magazine du Bibliophile). Perfectly preserved set of 10 itineraries, in a slightly faded original slipcase with a small cardboard chip.
