Nouveau Petit Larousse Illustré. 1928. With 6,200 drawings (gravures/engravings).
Seems to be a first edition. Previously owned by a P. Bennett, Hillside.
A garage sale find.
When I saw the pink pages, my heart leapt out and started to see this book less as a silverfish magnet that I have been pestering Mr. OP to let go of (as soon I had photographed it of course) and more as a delightful object.

Three photo shoots— the most challenging object to date. That macro lens hasn’t been purchased yet.
Alt-title: Untitled Objet Numéro 230 For Cataloging Disappearing Memories.
Page — 635 — Mémoire: n.f. (lat. memoria.) …. Souvenir: j’ai perdu la mémoire de ce fait.

As usual Untitled Alt Titles were originally inspired by John’s blog and Richard’s posts at The Future is Papier Mache. “Joke” Alt-title format inspired by Ben‘s joke format at the end of his posts.
I can see why the pink pages got you. Great photographs.
Thanks Richard. I see by your avatar your a pink fan too:)
