In fair condition, most uncommon in the original state. ~ First Dutch edition, translated from the French. Very rare. Though well written and comprehensive, the book was not receive with much acclaim. One reviewer was exceptionally harsh: "Ware ons dit boekje niet ter recensie gezonden, wij zouden er zeker geen kennis meê gemaakt hebben. Nu willen wij er alleen van zeggen, dat het noch de kosten van het drukken, noch de moeite van het lezen waard is. Het is samengeflanst uit de geschriften van twee Belgische militairen, den Kolonel Van de Welde en den Kolonel Lecomte, met aanhechting van een rapport van Maarschalk Bazaine. Wij kunnen er uit leeren, zoo wij het nog niet wisten, dat Frankrijk niet klaar was toen het den oorlog begon. - Alleen de schetskaartjes kunnen van eenigen dienst zijn voor hen, die zich nog eens de veldslagen bij Wörth, bij Gravelotte en bij Sédan voor oogen willen brengen." (Q. N., in "De Gids" Year 36, 1872).

Maistre, Lieutenant-Colonel (Paul André Marie). Préface Général H. Langlois.
Spicheren (6 Août 1870). Avec 9 cartes en 10 vues panoramiques hors texte.
Crown quarto. Pp. xvi, 412. Plus 9 folding maps, some of which printed in additional colours and 10 panoramic folding views, all loosely inserted in rear pocket as issued. Text figure. Hardcover, bound in contemporary black half cloth and matching marbled boards; broken spine reattached, old shelf ticket, old military institutional stamps to half-title and title and to corner of all maps, endpapers bit foxed. In good condition, very good maps and plates. ~ First edition. Rare. The panoramic views are particularly interesting and most uncommon in modern book production. These are 10 reproductions of very realistic hand-drawn views in pencil and charcoal, possibly made after reconnaissance photographs but most likely drawn in-situ by the military artist Commander Bonnefoy, who has signed each drawing. Each view is accompanied by extended legend printed in letterpress at bottom, and with place names and topographic points of reference indicated with arrows. These beautiful views are reproduced here in collotype, one of the most accurate and attractive methods of photomechanical tonal printing processes. Highly skilled and expensive process, it cannot produce more than a limited number of impressions. It has been used for single-sheet prints and luxury portfolios, and since the 1950s has been abandoned by all except a few small specialist firms.
