This is a very attractively illustrated celebration of Wellington's victorious campaign against Napoleon offered here in a special copy enhanced by additional plates many depicting principal actors in the conflict and a stately Neoclassical binding. Famed illustrator George Cruikshank drew the frontispiece depicting the seven general officers for the British side along with the ebullient illustrated title depicting victory the double-page plate of the fateful Battle of Waterloo and the ignominious "Flight of Bonaparte." The plates contributed by James Rouse mostly depict the countryside and villages in the area where fighting was taking place. Journalist and novelist William Mudford 1782-1848 wrote the text with assistance from primary sources among these the Duke of Wellington himself to whom the work is dedicated. Mudford was the editor of the "Courier" an evening journal with a conservative stance on politics. His prose is described as "vigorous" by the "Dictionary of Literary Biography" which also notes his flair for creating atmosphere. These gifts were brought to bear on the present account rendering this historic campaign in vivid terms. The manuscript letter inserted into the second volume was written by Lord Charles Whitworth 1752-1825 Lord Lieutenant of Ireland at the time of writing. He had been the British Ambassador to France when Napoleon was first consul and had gained much respect for the determination and dignity with which he had handled the mercurial Bonaparte's tirades against his country. Here he recommends to an unknown recipient the person who had conducted financial affairs for him in France. The present bindings are the work of the London bindery of W. T. Morrell established about 1861 as successor to the firm begun by Francis Bedford who in turn had taken over the famous bindery of Charles Lewis. Prideaux in her "Modern Bookbindings" says that Morrell at that time had a very large business that supplied "all the booksellers with bindings designed by his men" which were "remarkable for their variety and merit." The scion of an old and prosperous New England family former owner Frederick Stanhope Peck 1868-1947 was an avid collector of books and manuscripts amassing a collection of more than 8000 titles. When his library went to auction in 1944 it was noted for its fine bindings and excellent condition. Henry Colburn unknown books

2007ref. 26252Hong Kong/Köln/London/Los Angeles/Madrid/Paris/Tokyo: Barnes & Noble / Taschen. Fine in Fine dj. 2008 c.2007. Reprint. Hardcover. nice clean copy with no discernible wear to either book or jacket. Movie Icons Series B&W and color photographs There are certainly better and definitely bigger books about Steve McQueen than this small-format tome 6"x8" but if you're in search of a kind of "essence of McQueen" you couldn't do much better. There's an intelligent introductory essay "Steve McQueen: King of Cool" by Alain Silver followed by a "Visual Filmography" which takes up the heart of the book and presents stills from all his films all credited to The Kobal Collection and beautifully reproduced in the best Taschen manner. The Chronology Filmography alas with just the director's credit plus McQueen's role and Bibliography are all quite brief but that doesn't take away from its pleasure as a pictorial survey of his career. All text and captions are in English German and French. The original 2007 Taschen edition seems to have been issued as a paperback only; this edition hardcover with dust jacket appears to have been produced basically for the American remainder market yet seems to be less common than the paperback. Go figure. . Barnes & Noble / Taschen hardcover books
