Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Many illustrators, including Sir John Gilbert, W. C. Stanfield, Ernest Crofts, and Jean Baptiste Eduoard Detaille (illustratore). 1st Edition. First Edition (SD, 'Published October 1914' ). 'With Illustrations From Famous Paintings.' The color pastedown illustration on the front cover is by N.C. Wyeth. The frontispiece by Jean Baptiste Eduoard Detaille. You can see the covers in the photos. They're in pretty nice shape, particularly taking into account that the book was published in 1914. Here are the cover imperfections (although you can see them in the photos, I like to practice redundancy): There is some smooth rubbing on the pastedown illustration. All smooth. There is a bump/indent at the top edge of the front cover, a little bit of the same at the middle of the front bottom edge, and another small indent a little to the right of that, beside the letter 'S'. There is another bump/dent at the front middle edge with a couple of small grooves, and the same is the case directly across on the front side of the spine. So the book has survived a few battles of its own, but clearly came out the winner. The gilt lettering on the spine is nicely bright (so is the black lettering on the front). There is a thin white vertical line of soiling on the spine. There's just a little bit of bending/crinkling wear at the spine ends. The rear cover looks very good. Isn't any rubbing at the top and middle edges, there's a little whitening at the rear bottom one. The corners are in solid shape with only a speck-sized bit of rubbing on a few. The page edges look quite clean, no conspicuous staining. Here's a very important thing-- given that the book runs a very thick 410 pages -- the book is square, the spine is straight, and the binding is very solid with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. To be published in 1914 and to be this thick, and to be in this genre and to be still be solidly bound, that's pretty good. The interior of the book is in quite decent condition. The first handful of pages have either one or two small tan spots. The frontispiece is in very nice shape. It is protected by a tissue guard that is also in very good shape. All of the illustrations, black-and-white and full-page (one is double-page) are protected by tissue guards which are in very good shape as well. All of the tissue guards have a printed title of the illustration. There are 14 illustrations in total, including the frontispiece. I went through and accounted for all of them, referencing the Illustrations page. They are all in excellent condition. The tissue guards at their top are about 1/4 of an inch shorter than the text and illustration pages. That's the case for all of them, they were produced that way. The result is a slightly tanner hue over that 1/4r inch on the illustration and facing text page, more so on the facing text page. The pages are very clean. I'm not really finding any soiling, a few instances of a little bit of tannish coloring just peeking over the outer edge. I'm not finding any conspicuous creasing, no placeholder creases. There are a few instances of small groups of pages with a tiny tip of the top corner crease, not much of anything. There are no markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. Here are some of the battles (chapter headings) that are described: The Victory over the Khita, The Battle of Marathon, The Lemnian: A Story of Thermopyle, The Siege of Plataea, How Hannibal Made His Way To Italy, Julius Caesar in Gaul, A Vikings Sea-Fight, The Battle of Hastings, The Battle of Crecy, The Death of Winkleried, The Ballad of Agincourt, The Battle of Bosworth Field, The Siege of Leyden, The Battle of Ivry, Gustavus Adolphus at Lutzen, The Battle of Naseby, Bunker Hill, The Battle of the Pyramids, Trafalgar, Hohenlinden, The Crossing of the Beresina River, Waterloo, The Charge of the Light Brigade, Farragut, The Attack upon Port Arthur, and The Siege of Adrianople.

First edition of this wonderfully illustrated work. Large folios, 3 volumes. Elegantly bound in full red morocco, gilt titles to the spine, raised bands, top edge gilt. Limited to 100 sets with the 2 volumes suite of 150 plates on Japanese paper. Édouard Detaille was a French academic painter and military artist noted for his precision and realistic detail. He was regarded as the "semi-official artist of the French army." "Detaille est un des peintres les plus populaires de l'école française du XIXe siècle. Peintre quasi officiel de l'armée française, Detaille s'est fait remarquer à la fois par l'ampleur de ses compositions et par le soin dont il témoigne dans l'exactitude des détails." (Bénézit).
