A beautiful antique work titled "Les Vrais Robinsons: Naufrages, Solitude, Voyages" (The True Robinsons: Shipwrecks, Solitude, Travels), by Ferdinand Denis and Victor Chauvin, published in Paris in 1863 by Librairie du Magasin Pittoresque.

Illustrated edition with numerous engravings by Yan’ Dargent, a famous 19th-century illustrator, offering very beautiful scenes of shipwrecks, adventures, and survival in a spirit similar to great exploration narratives and Robinsonades.

The work is presented in an elegant old black binding with a ribbed spine and gilding, with a gilded "Lycée de Moulins" (Moulins High School) mark on the front cover, testifying to its former institutional provenance.
