Paris: Hachette, 1911. 1st . Half-Leather. Very Good. First printing. Pp. 54, LXXXV, 520, 27 maps (many colored and double-page, large folding map in rear pocket), 56 plans, 30 illustrations, 1 tableau, 12mo format in custom half-leather binding with gilt titles on front board and spine, dark-blue buckram boards. This copy belonged to the former Canadian Government Trade Commissioner, with his signature dated 1930 on the first blank page. Some other documents of his are in the rear pocket. The book has held up very well, with binding still firm, cloth and gilt bright, contents not overly worn. The cloth is worn through at the tips and lower edges of the boards, the large fragile folding map in the rear pocket is complete but in two pieces with tears are the creases. An interesting association copy.
