Consists of illustrations and other related pictorial works for Chateaubriand's Atala, including 22 unpublished drawings (ca. 1810), four 19th century prints, five 20th century photographs, and one postcard. The drawings have been attributed to the Comte de Boulet, an amateur artist from Dijon, and are matted in two oversize portfolios. The gelatin silver photographs depict a mantel clock with sculpted illustrations, the castle in Combourg, and three illustrations created by other artists. The postcard features a portrait of Le Chevalier De Caud.
