Petit Larousse

Sunday, 20 February 2011

Among the many records and books that i would do away if i could only find somebody who takes better care of them than i do, is this 1958 edition of the “Noveau petit Larousse illustré”:

This encyclopedia contains 1800 (!) pages with thumbnale sized illustrations:

The illustrations are well done and with an average of two illusrations per page there must be over 3600 of them:

And there not only illustrations in this encyclopedia, the book has also quite a few maps:

Apart from the small illustrations there are also many full page illustrations:

And to top it off this book, which i found among the garbage on the sidewalk long time ago, has some spectacular colour pages:

Unfortunately the book has no use here, so i will cut out some of the best illustrations and throw the book away. That is hard, but it makes space for twenty cd’s.
