Two terrific fold-out maps, BOTH with color, of the Vendee war (1793). THE VENDEE IS ON THE BAY OF BISCAY AND WAS (OR AM I MISTAKEN) ONCE UNDER THE ENGLISH CROWN. I believe it was part of the Aquitaine that Eleanor brought to Henry 11 as her dowry. It was yet another religious war. PORTRAIT OF THE MARQUIS, BORN 1777 AND KILLED 1815.

Publisher: Gill, 1894Used - Good, Graded good but many would grade it Very Good. Green board decorated with gilt whippets and author's name plus some half-tone whippets in lighter green. End pages are decorated with UG monograms of the publisher Upcott Gill. Corners bumped. vi, contents page, prelims 199 text pages. ad, index p201-204,, 11 numbered pages of catalogue, 4 pages ads. Six sepia plates of whippets as show and race dogs. When I check WORLDCAT, I learn that copies of this first edition exist in some UK and US libraries but not in Canada. One Canadian library has a later reprint. And that's it. This not the cheapest offered at the the moment but is far the best.
