A propos de cet article

Xiv + 320 pages. With a folding map 6 sepia engraved aquatints of scenes. Printed on quality rag made paper, some browning at endpapers, the body of the book firm and fox free. Old original diced calf worn at front hinge, front board loose and stringing showing. Spine has loss at base and top corners, removal of a bookplate inside front board, residue marks, marbled edges to the paper, titles in gilt on spine, these are rubbed. *NOTES: This account of Sir John Moore's expedition and his army in the Peninsula War culminating with his death at Corunna. The graphic and very candid details in this series of letters written on the spot have the power to convey a reader to the scenes described in accurate detail and covers the weeks of travel with the army during its retreat and including battles and skirmishes and other asides, in 24 chapters. Many senior officers died or were seriously wounded at The Battle of Corunna but the troops didn't lose heart. A candid hands on account of this disastrous campaign for the English in this Dunkirk like escape. The description of the Spanish is far from flattering unlike later edited and politically motivated accounts.…

Description de la boutique

We are a small, single-owner business. We have been operating on and off since 1977 and our stock is varied, leaning towards antiquarian and 19th century with the addition of original aquatint and lithographic, or woodcut engravings. Also maps and Ephemera - in fact, anything interesting on paper really. We have in stock every item we list. We do not use stock photographs, but photograph each item individually. We very rarely use "fine" or "mint" as a description, mainly due to the age and the fact that 99.9% of what we sell has been pre-owned and therefor Fine would not be a term for a book we sell despite its fine-like appearance. We always take items back unreservedly if not in the condition as described. We always try to describe fully.…
