Viollet-le-Duc, who also served as an engineer in the Franco-Prussian War, portrays an idealized military defense of France as exemplified in a fictitious castle.

Embossed gilt image of fortress on front board with black title. Bevelled edges. Red page edges. Lightly edgeworn and rubbed, with heavier wear at head and tail of spine. Brown endpapers with staining to front endpaper. Front hinge started. Binding shaken but secure. Previous owner's name. Color frontispiece map with tissue guard. Contents unmarked with occasional light to moderate foxing. Numerous color and black and white illustrations.
