A propos de cet article

Demy folio, [27.75cm/11inches], full gilt-embossed verdant-green cloth with mylar-protected dust jacket, pp. 197, indexed. Illustrated with b-w halftone plates, Please feel free to ask for particulars and/or additional photographs. .

One such was a lavish volume upon Royal Naval reviews at Spithead, the last and greatest of which were the Coronation Reviews of 1938 and 1953.
