London: William Heinemann, 1893. Hardcover. Very Good. Hardcover. This is a science fiction classic that first appeared in 1892 in the illustrated magazine Black and White. The novel is a shockingly realistic forecast of a future world war written in collaboration by several great military and political experts of the day. It depicts many of the horrors of modern warfare, including aerial bombardments of cities, something the world was not to experience for decades to come. In fact, sadly, many of the book's predictions came to pass. Bound in the original green cloth with an orange and black pictorial cover. Titling in gilt to spine. Covers are bumped and rubbed, with fraying of spine ends. Hinges are quite tender but text block is tight. Offsetting to pastedowns and free endpapers. Text pages are clean with slightest aging to margins. There are 46 black and white illustrations, including three that fold out and a fold-out map. A very nice copy in good condition. Octavo. 308 pages. LIT/090622.
