Molte figure con i caratteri linguistici esplicativi nel testo. Buon esemplare ad ampi margini.Rarissima prima edizione. Interessante opera dell’etnologo, epistemologo precolombiano-americano e linguista francese de Rosny, che illustra gli scritti figurativi o geroglifici di diverse culture, principalmente quelli dei cinesi, dei messicani e degli antichi egiziani.
