Paris, Masson et Cie, 1901-1910. 7 vol. in-folio, red half-maroquin, cover and spine (Binding of the period). First edition of this monumental study, which brings together the work of more than 80 contributors from Europe, the United States, and South America: owners, professors of agriculture, oenologists, agricultural engineers... "Volume I deals with questions of general ampelography: study of the Ampelidae family, the genus Vitis and its species, American vines, and the biology of the vine. The next five volumes describe in detail the most important grape varieties of the vineyards of France and abroad (...) with notes on very small, almost confidential vines" (Oberlé). The last volume contains an important ampelographic dictionary. Superb illustration, including 820 engravings in the text and 570 out-of-text lithographs, 500 of which are in color, painted by A. Kreyder and J. Troncy. A very nice copy. Spines faded and slightly rubbed. Oberlé, Bach, 276; Simon, Vin, 60.
