From dust jacket: Drawing on newly discovered documents in the National Archives Lincoln’s War is the only full-length account to date on Abraham Lincoln as Commander in Chief. For the first time readers will see the war unfold as Lincoln saw it. This wide-ranging account casts new light on Lincoln and his generals his admirals his controversial Secretary of War Edwin Stanton and his outspoken confidant Gideon Welles Secretary of the Navy. The reader will also learn the true story of Lincoln’s experiences as a soldier and encounter Lincoln as amateur strategist Lincoln in his relationship with black servicemen Lincoln in his dealings with the Committee on the Conduct of the War and Lincoln in his friendship with weapons pioneer Christopher Spencer the creator of the Spencer repeater. And Lincoln’s War is filled with myriad illuminating anecdotes -- including how the President a frustrated inventor liked to conduct his own hands-on weapons tests on waste ground near the White House. It was Lincoln who over the course of four years created the role of Commander in Chief as we know it today. In doing so he saved the Union and changed the nation.

Small folio 305 x 195 mm. bound in contemporary mottled calf tan morocco spine label spine compartments gilt preserved in a half morocco folding box. An early seventeenth century sammelband of works on perspective and architecture including a first edition of a comprehensive work on perspective by Lucas Brunn d. 1640. In the tradition of Albrecht Dürer Wentzel Jamnitzer Levinus Hulsius and particularly Hans Lencker the Elder Brunn unfolds a system for measuring and accurately representing lines areas and volumes in various perspectival positions and discusses an instrument of his own invention designed to achieve this. Included amongst the plates are two diagrams of Brunn's perspectival instrument and a great number of images using blocked Roman letterforms as models- choosing the ten letters contained in the name of his patron Johannes Georgius duke of Saxony viz. I O H A N E S G R V. Perhaps the most spectacular image is the elongated "anamorphic" human skull in the manner of Holbein's 1533 painting of "The French Ambassadors" which appears on plate 24. The sammelband also includes a beautifully printed De Bry edition of Jacques Perret's Architectura et Perspectiva. A remarkable book which is comprised of plates and text dealing with imaginary fortifications and city plans. The most extraordinary aspect of the engravings centers on the surreal quality of the fortifications and the visionary designs of the buildings including one thirteen-story edifice complete with rooftop sculptures urns and fountains which prefigures the modern urban skyscraper. The final book the fête book lacks the title dedication and plates 6-11. Binding a bit rubbed a few marginal light stains overall an appealing copy. For Perret OCLC lists only the Art Institute of Chicago Universities of Minnesota and Pennsylvania in the U.S. and for Brunn it lists 9 copies. Only NYPL for the fête book. There are no listings in OCLC for the Solis although there is a set at the British Museum V&A and Metropolitan Museum.
