Im. Levy Fils & Cie (LL)
44 Rue Letellier, Paris

I do not see a book comparable to this one nor do I see a date but believe it to be from the late 1800s to early 1920s

Here's some info about the printing company:
"The original firm of Léon & Lévy (LL) was a French printing house and photograph publishing company located in Paris. It was founded in 1864 by Isaac Georges Lévy (also known as Georges Lévy and J. Lévy) (1833–1913) and his father-in-law, Moysé Léon (b. 1812). The firm specialized in stereoscopic glass plates and picture postcards and became one of the most important postcard publishers in France. Léon left the firm in 1872, and the firm was shops renamed J. Lévy & Cie. In 1895, when Lévy's two sons, Abraham Lucien Lévy and Gaspard Ernest Lévy, took over the firm, the company was renamed Lévy Fils et Cie. About 1920, the firm was acquired by the printer Émile Crête who also acquired the firm of Neurdein Frères, and the new combined company was known as Lévy et Neurdein Réunis. The credit line for Lévy Fils et Cie typically incorporates the trademark for the Union Syndicale des maîtres Imprimeurs de France ("labor union of master printers of France") (USI)."

The book measures approximately 11 1/2" x 4 1/2"

Between each of the plates there is a tissue page for protection

It is in good condition. There is a little cover wear and there is a wrinkle on the front as well as the back cover is torn.

Please be sure to look at all the photos so see a visual description and condition of this book.
