The village and its Chapelle de Notre Dame constructed in 1479 is today a UNESCO heritage site as part of the St. James' Way pilgrimage route. The site first gained popularity as a pilgrim destination during the Middle Ages but by the early 19th century was in ruins first with the arrival of the Huguenots in the 16th century and pillaged again during the French Revolution. Not until the mid-19th century were funds raised by the bishops of Cahors used to restore the site. This guidebook would have been produced shortly after the restoration and provides handsomely illustrated descriptions of the village the numerous Chapelles and surviving relics. Preface dated 1862; attributed to the abbé Cheval by the BNF. Victor Bertuot unknown

HORSE RACING. </strong><em>Gibraltar</em><em> Garrison Races. </em><em>Tuesday 3d May 1831</em><em>. To Start at Half-Past </em><em>One O'Clock</em><em>. </em>Small 4to broadside on yellow satin 9 ¾ x 6 3/8" edges fringed. Gibraltar: 1831. </p><p>The day's program and a very rare souvenir of early horse racing at the British garrison of Gibraltar. "I cannot find any record of any formal horse racing on the isthmus or elsewhere in the Campo arc prior to 1765 but the enormous popularity of the Calpe Hunt which established itself as a major institution in Gibraltar in the very early 19th century will undoubtedly have led to impromptu races from time to time and may have been the catalyst for organizing a more formal approach to racing. As early as 1838 Charles Rochfort Scott a Royal Artillery officer stationed in Gibraltar was singing the praises of horse racing on the Rock…From this one might gather that formal racing probably did not begin until after 1821 but that it was definitely in full swing in 1839 by which time it had become a pretty full blooded affair with a considerable number of horses taking part. It also seems to have been an activity in which only the officers of the garrison were allowed to indulge."-Neville Chipolina <em>The People of Gibraltar </em>online which includes a long quote from an article by "Nimrod" Charles James Apperley in Thomas Hook's <em>New Monthly Magazine and Humorist: 1841 Part the Second </em>pp. 42-43 which says "Twenty years back who would have dreamed of races at Gibraltar! Such however is the case now…"</p><p>Owners names given as are weights names of horses and colors. The first three races were Sweepstakes the first "A Handicap Sweepstakes h.f. for all horses. Heats—The Don Mile 5 contestants; the second "for Ponies not exceeding 14 hands high Heats—From Bay-side In 5 contestants; the third "Barbs and English horses excluded Heats—The Don Mile 3 contestants; the last "A Match—The Don Mile" with only two horses listed to run. Horse racing in Gibraltar was included in a novel by Arthur Griffiths entitled <em>Lola: A Tale of Gibraltar </em>NY: 1877. Folded and a little dusty else nearly fine.</p>
