First edition of this splendid album. - {With lithogr. title in gold, within a lithogr. frame of oak foliage, lithogr. mounted portrait of Larderel by L. Desmaisons, and 24 tinted lithogr. views by Eug. Ciceri and Bachelier after E. Chelli} with lithogr. captions. Blind tooled black half morocco with gilt stamped title "Album" on front cover and yellow endpapers (rubbed, stained, joints partly cracking). - A different edition of this album in the identical publisher's binding contains 3 additional plates after Toci, which were probably added at a later date. Boric acid was already known to the Etruscans and Romans, who used it in pharmacy and for processing enamel. Thermal baths were built at the springs of the "Devil's Valley", from which "lagoni" or geysers emerged. This knowledge was lost and only rediscovered in 1777. But it was not until 1818 that it was utilised in Monte Cerboli (a volcanic landscape) by the French industrialist and engineer François-Jacques Larderel (1789-1858), considered the father of geomery, who emigrated to Tuscany and made a fortune by developing a technique for extracting boric acid from the mud of hot Tuscan springs through evaporation. This album is a unique testimony to early industrialisation in Italy. The lithographed views show the Tuscan landscape as an uninhabited romantic wilderness before the construction of Larderel's factories and afterwards as a populated industrial landscape to demonstrate industrial progress. Due to the great success of his technique, Larderel was knighted by Grand Duke Leopold II of Habsburg-Tuscany in 1846 and named Count of Monte Cerboli. - Flyleaves and seperating sheets somewhat foxed, title loosened, the plates generally fresh and with only a few marginal stains.
