About This Item
[24] ll.First edition of a monumental commemorative work to mark the campaigns of the Austrian army in Italy during the years 1848-49.

The war correspondent Friedrich Wilhelm Hackländer (1816-77) wrote the extensive explanatory texts (most in both German and French) for each plate.
