Reseña del editor

Extensively illustrated throughout this early works is a comprehensive and informative look at the subject and still a fascinating read today. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
