1985rif. R4677France: Librairie Larousse 1985 Ouvrage abondamment illustré surtout de photographies en couleurs et de quelques fac-similés. « Perles pierres aux couleurs vives pierres étincelantes ont toujours été associées à une notion de trésor et représentaient autrefois la richesse d'un État que ses chefs exhibaient dans les grandes occasions. Ramsès impressionnait les ambassadeurs assyriens par ses lapis-lazuli et ses turquoises; Louis XIV éblouissait les représentants du chah de Perse par ses diamants . Mais la révolution industrielle du XIXe siècle a fait prévaloir les réalisations techniques. Si les empires de la Renaissance envoyaient leurs galions chercher or et pierres précieuses dans le Nouveau Monde les grandes nations modernes envoient leurs fusées dans l'espace à la recherche d'une précieuse technologie. Ce sont leurs trésors actuels aussi les nomment-elles parfois «diamant>> «saphir» .». Illus. by Bariand Nelly. Couverture rigide. Très bon. Librairie Larousse hardcover
