Beschreibung
First edition of this lavishly produced history of French military campaigns and costumes, with emphasis on Napoleon and the Grand Imperial Army. Laid into this copy is a three-page handwritten letter from Job regarding the publication of one of his books, speaking to the artist's concern for historical accuracy in projects like this one. It reads [in translation]: "My editor, M. Combet forwarded your letter to me - as for the table of contents, it will be delivered this month as well as the cover. As to your observation regarding the blanks in the text, we will do our utmost to fill them in. I admit that I have not understood what you mean by 'military Decoration of 11 lines added on the sleeve of the uniform.' Are they modern designs? This would not be at all in my plan. If they are old and you could communicate them to us (providing that they are not already known) we would be very happy if you could let us have them. As to the flag, we show those which we have seen, but there are very few documents on this subject. Mr. Hollander, a member of the Sabretache, has just completed a very well documented study on the flags from 1804-1812 - I think it will be published by Berger Levrault. [signed] J. de Breville / JOB 81 avenue Victor Hugo." 12.5'' x 10''. Original handsome binding of full embossed leather with gold and red designs. All edges gilt. Illustrated by Job with 10 color plates plus 175 exquisitely detailed engraved illustrations on nearly every page of text, many of which are hand-colored. Printed on coated paper. [6], x, 299, [3] pages. Three-page handwritten letter by Job on his watermarked letterhead laid in. Just a touch of rubbing to spine ends, else clean and fresh. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 34918
