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.

The Grenadier Guards Tercentenary Year 1656-1956: A Pictorial Record of the Historic Celebrations of 1956.
Crown quarto. Unpaginated. Colour frontispiece. Illustrations. Hardcover, bound in the original publisher's full cloth, gilt lettering. In a very good condition. ~ First edition. Rare presentation copy with a most curious dedication, very neatly calligraphed on first free endpaper: "Presented to General Obert Kurt Student with the compliments of the Tunbridge Wells Branch of the Grenadier Guards Comrades Association, 20th May 1961". General Kurt Student (1980-1978) had a distinguished military career in World War Two. Kurt Student was a distinguished Nazi officer who played a key role in the development of the Luftwaffe. He was involved in the attack on Western Europe in 1940, the planning for Operation Sealion, and in the largest German airborne attack in the war, the attack on Crete. Kurt Student was put on trial in May 1946 for war crimes committed in Greece and Crete. He died in 1978. The reason for the compliments of the Grenadier Guards remains a mystery.
