In-4 oblong, dark green chagr. jans. inter. dent. gilt. (19th century binding). FIRST EDITION, rare, of this beautiful work on the various weapons, as they were practiced in the past in the military art in France. It contains a first title in a frontispiece by E. Herblot, a portrait of the author by J. de Favanne and 116 very beautiful plates engraved in intaglio, accompanied by an explanatory text (small repair in the margin of the bottom of the first title, some plates slightly yellowed).
