Oblong small booklet. Contains 10 fine collotype plates, protected by tissue-guards, each captioned in English and French. Printed on verso as postcard. Original printed wrappers, title in relief. In fine condition. Excellent copy.

- - First edition. A visual record of the aftermath of the German bombardment of Dinant, Belgium on the 23rd and 24th of August 1914, in which 650 people died. The photographs are printed here as fine collotype plates, not as the usual halftone reproductions. Collotype is 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. Scarce collectible item in excellent condition.

5 L’ALBUM DE LA GUERRE, 1914-1919. Histoire photographique et documentaire reconstituée chronologiquement à l’aide de clichés et de dessins publiés par “L’Illustration” de 1914 à 1921. Édition augmentée de Documents Inédits et comprenant de Nombreuses Reproductions en Couleurs, ainsi qu’un Texte Sommaire constituant un véritable “Précis d’Histoire”. Tome second. Paris, L’Illustration, 1927.

Imperial folio. Pp. 661-1311, (3). Profusely illustrated throughout. With many half- and full-page (helio)gravure plates of fine quality, many of which are tinted. Colour portraits printed separately and tipped-in onto card leaves. With many other full- and double-page colour plates, and numerous other illustrations in halftone. Illustrated title, printed in orange and black, half-title misfold, short tear to margin of 2 leaves. Hardcover, original calf-backed boards, these are rubbed, spine gilt bit dry, upper board gilt. In a very good condition.

- - Second volume only. First edition of this remarkable compilation. The fine technique of gravure printing (Kupfertiefdruck, Rakeltiefdruck), developed by Karl Klic (1841-1927), is often referred to erratically as photogravure or heliogravure, terms which describe another process. Experiments in gravure printing began in the 1850s, and reproductions of rare prints by this method became common from the 1870s. It was not, however, until around 1880 that the development of this most brilliant and faithful monochrome reproductive technique yet known in the history of printing, began. Klic adapted the cross-line screen to the old hand photogravure process, but kept it secret rather than patenting it, and the technique was reinvented by others in the years afterwards. The handsome colour plates in this collection are printed from relief metal blocks. A somewhat laborious process, it could yield exceptionally nice results if done with great attention to detail, and the plates here are an excellent example for such.

50 ELLISON, Sir Gerald. The Perils of Amateur Strategy: As Exemplified by the Attack on the Dardanelles Fortress in 1915. London, Longmans, Green, 1926.

12mo. Pp. xxvi, 152. With 2 maps; notes, index. Hardcover, original blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Apart from some stamps and shelf marking to prelims, and a short, clean tear to top margin of 3 leaves, not affecting text and without any loss, in a very good, clean condition.

First edition. The attempts first by British and French warships and then troops to force the Dardanelles in 1915 constitute one of the most fascinating, and still controversial, of all the campaigns of WW I. The campaign had cost the Allies 46,000 dead, of whom 26,000 were British. An estimate of 200,000 Turkish dead is considered to be conservative. Lieutenant-General Sir Ellison, late Headquarters Staff of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Forces, 1915, questions here the ability of politicians to deal with naval and military strategy, and argues that the strategy of war should be left to the “professionals.” With a preface by the Right Hon. Viscount Esher.

First edition. Drawn from the materials of the World War I Survey held at the archives of the United States Army Military History Institute at Carlisle. Using original documents, including extracts from letters from serving soldiers, from their diaries, from their later accounts of their experiences and from official reports and papers, this book recalls the experiences of Americans who fought in the First World War. Individual chapters cover different periods, from Enlistment to Victory, in a chronological fashion. Other topics, such as weaponry, medical services and entertainment are also featured. “Probably the best book available to date on this subject. An absolutely sumptuous book that simply oozes so much information that it must surely rate as one of the most important works on the Great War.” - Military Books in Perspective.
