"A very rare set of a dozen lithograph views of Martinique after eleven photographs by Hippolyte Hartmann and one drawing by Michel-Jean Cazabon, set on stone by Eugène Cicéri in Paris circa 1860. The Alsatian Hartmann and his son worked as photographers in the Caribbean and on the Atlantic coast of South America, 'As was necessary, since in the mid-nineteenth century the residents of any one island could not support a full time photographer' - Getty. They seem to have travelled often with Cazabon, a Creole artist regarded as the first great Trinidadian painter, with whom they also published a second lithograph view book depicting Demerara." -- Librería de Antaño
