Description

First Edition. With two tissue-guarded portraits and four battle maps, one of which is a fold-out. 8vo, in later burgundy cloth, the spine with a gilt lettered and tooled black morocco label preserved from the publisher's original deluxe leather binding and now adorned here. 358 pp. A clean and bright copy with only occasional evidence of mellowing or age to the paper, the signatures a little pulled in places but still firmly attached, some cracking to the hinge side of the frontispiece along the gutter due to the heavy paper used, without damage to the image, one blank excised, the binding strong and solid with just a hint of fading to the spine panel, the original leather label well preserved.
