Crown quarto. Pp. 377. Profusely illustrated throughout. Hardcover, bound in the original publisher's full cloth with pictorial dust-jacket which is good and complete frayed along fold of lower flap. This rare original dust-jacket is printed on verso with an illustrated publisher's catalogue. In a very good condition. ~ First edition. Rare early printing with dust-jacket, the words "with full details of its" do not appear yet in the title. This particular copy comes from the bequest of renowned uniform historian and researcher Dr. Pieter Roelse and includes, loosely inserted, a large number of rare newspaper and magazine photographs related to the book's subject. The clippings are often additionally captioned in neat hand, and source and date are often given. Rare period material is included. Many of these clippings correspond directly to illustrations in the book and enhance image and word, providing extra, useful reference. Two old clippings of coloured art portraits of Hitler youth are tipped-in onto first paste-down and first free endpaper. It should be noted that this material, the result of a lifelong research, study, and collection is provided herewith strictly as-is, subject to what is present in the books.
Oblong quarto. Pp. 22 (text). Plus 50 plates printed in various techniques, some in colour, each preceded by a leaf of captions and explanations, with interleaving tissue guards. With 34 text illustrations. Pictorial title-page printed in colour. Hardcover, bound in the original illustrated cloth, gilt. Binding broken and detached, first few leaves loose. All the plates are in fine condition and as such an ideal copy for visual study. ~ Noteworthy is the technique in which the fine plates in this book are produced. The monochromatic plates are printed in collotype, one of the most accurate and attractive methods of photomechanical tonal printing processes. Highly skilled and expensive process, it cannot produce more than a limited number of impressions. It has been used for single-sheet prints and luxury portfolios, and since the 1950s has been abandoned by all except a few small specialist firms. The colour plates are not chromolithographs as it is sometimes erratically assumed. At the end of the 19th century the term "chromotypograph", implying colour printed from raised metal, as type is, was used for colour prints which made use of metal relief blocks. It is indeed the process used in this book; the colour plates were printed from etched metal blocks, a relief method rather than planographic. ~ [NOTE:] Fine plates. Sold as a binding copy or a collection of plates, priced accordingly.
