Jules Loridan - L’ASTRONOMIE PITTORESQUE (1896)

I think 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). That the book was published in 1896, although it is not mentioned anywhere, is plausible: on page 204 reference is made to the 'just published (vient de publier)' lunar atlas of Prinz; that was published in 1896.
