Description:

"DEUTSCHLANDS HEER UND FLOTTE IN WORT UND BILD. GERMANY''S ARMY AND NAVY BY PEN AND PICTURE"
A spectacular book, printed by The Werner Company, (Ohio), 1900. First edition, hardcover. Text in German and English, with one column on each page devoted to each. Original pictorial cloth, 17 1/2" x 13 1/2", 181 pp., with 42 fine, bright chromolithographic plates of military uniforms, ships, and troops on parade, drilling, on horseback, reconnoitering and scouting, bivouacking, in the field and barracks, engineering -- in short, these are far more than static costume illustrations but rather ones that depict action scenes. Publisher Werner was a leading German American publisher in the late nineteenth century that began by publishing a German newspaper in the U.S. This bilingual publication was perhaps the company''s most opulent book and clearly was aimed at appealing to the patriotism of the immigrant community well before the First World War squelched this type of fervor. A beautiful presentation in extra fine condition.
