Millin, which provides a vivid depiction of early 19th-century France through the eyes of a keen observer. Translated from French, this detailed account chronicles Millin's extensive travels across the southern regions of France during a period of significant social and political transformation following the French Revolution and amid the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. Millin, an ardent antiquarian and naturalist, meticulously documents the landscapes, architectural marvels, local customs, and archaeological sites of the regions he explores. His narrative is rich with descriptions of the diverse geographical features from the rolling vineyards to the rugged coastlines, and it delves into the historical backgrounds of notable landmarks, providing insights into their cultural significance. Moreover, the travelogue captures the socio-economic conditions of the period, noting the effects of political upheaval on local industries, agriculture, and the daily lives of people. Millin's work is not just a travel narrative but also an important historical document that offers readers a window into the life and times of early 19th-century southern France, reflecting both the beauty and the challenges of the era. ; 22 x 14 x 2.2 cms; 280 & 4 plates pages.
