Military Drawings and Paintings in the Collection of Her Majesty The Queen: Volume One  Plates, A. E. Haswell Miller and N. P. Dawnay â" Second Edition Publication: London, Phaidon Press Ltd, 1970 Formatting: 4to, pp. 222. Condition Report: Near Fine. The publisher's original red cloth binding remains remarkably square and robust, featuring bright, unoxidised gilt lettering to the spine and front board, and remaining entirely free of shelf-wear or bumping to the extremities. Internally, the text block is exceptionally crisp, clean, and tightly bound, with pristine pages that exhibit no signs of foxing, spotting, or previous ownership markings. The accompanying original dust jacket retains its vivid colour and sharp imagery on the front panel, though it exhibits some faint surface soiling to the white rear panel, trivial edge-crinkling along the extreme upper margins, and a very subtle rub to the spine ends. Catalogue Note: This is a second edition, initially published in 1966 and reissued here in 1970. This specific offering comprises Volume One exclusively, which is entirely devoted to the plates, whereas the subsequent Volume Two contains the accompanying textual catalogue. The volume is profusely illustrated with 478 plates, including 28 rendered in full colour, that meticulously reproduce works by approximately sixty different artists. As a standalone volume, it is relatively common on the open market, frequently encountered both individually and as part of the complete two-volume set. There is no noteworthy provenance or distinguishing binder's stamp present. A comprehensive visual record of military dress and history, this volume presents a striking array of military drawings and paintings held within the Royal Collection. The illustrations capture the intricate uniforms, dramatic equestrian portraiture, and martial heritage of British and foreign armies from the late seventeenth to the early twentieth century. It serves as an indispensable reference for military historians, uniform enthusiasts, and art lovers, bringing to life the historic pageantry preserved by the British monarchy.
