Paris, F. Fournier

Into its seventh edition, Brice's guide to Paris clearly satisfied its customers, who needed two volumes just to appreciate what one city had to offer. Illustrations were also clearly a stong selling point, indicating that the book was appreciated at least as much by armchair travellers as by those who actually explored Paris.
