Brochure 1855

This is a 19th-century printed brochure titled "Loch-Sondeur", created in 1855 by Adolphe Pécoul. The brochure, measuring 24 cm high and 15 cm wide, features an ornate, decorative border along the top and bottom edges. The text is in French, and the brochure likely served as a promotional piece for Pécoul's work on soundings, the process of measuring the depth of water, and the importance of the Loch-Sondeur. The text mentions the "Rapports des Capitaines" and the "Société de Statistique de Marseille", indicating the connection of the brochure to nautical and statistical work. The printing itself is a testament to the advancements in printing technology in the mid-19th century, featuring intricate patterns in the typography and ornate border designs.
