[Indochina - Cambodia]. ALBUM OF 20 LARGE HELIOGRAVURES (380 x 280 mm) laminated onto heavy paper, mounted on a tab, and bound in an oblong folio album, in brown half-basane leather with corner pieces, bearing the inscription in red on the front cover: “To the Governor-General and Madame Alexandre Varenne, in memory of their visit to the Ruins of Angkor, August 15 and 16, 1926.” A magnificent and unique album containing photographs taken by Fernand Nadal, born in 1898, a photographer who worked for both the General Government and the owners of the grand palaces built at tourist sites such as Angkor. These photos showcase various views of the ruins of Angkor Wat, the Bayon, the Baphuon, Takeo, and Neak Pean. This collection was presented to Alexandre Varenne (1870–1947), Governor-General of Indochina, journalist, lawyer, and founder of the daily newspaper *La Montagne* in Clermont-Ferrand. It bears a signed dedication (illegible) dated August 17, 1926, addressed to him. There is minor wear on the binding; the interior is intact.
