About This Item
1819 Napoleonic WARS 1ed Military Navy Great Britain Illustrated Orme Color ART
Edward Orme's "Military and Naval Anecdotes", published in 1819, was one of if not the most important book of its kind from the entire 19th-century. This book is an impressive collection of illustrated engravings most of which deal with the Napoleonic Wars. This book offers views of battle scenes, ships and guns, gruesome battlefields, and much more. Each of the engravings are in stunning color known to often be extracted from this book and displayed individually. However, this particular first edition 39 color plates; an impressive work!
