Jules Loridan - l’Astronomie Pittoresque (1896)

I think this book was (also) published in episodes as a serial; which could explain the different types of bindings that are found (there is also a red one). It is plausible, although not mentioned anywhere, that the book was published in 1896: on page 204 reference is made to the 'just published (vient de publier)' lunar atlas of Prinz; that was published in 1896.
