Paris, Librairie. illustrée / Librairie M. Dreyfous, s.d. [1878]. Un fort vol. au format in-4 (287 x 193 mm) de 1 ff., 2 pp. n.fol., 1 grande planche dépliante, 796 pp. et 1 f. bl. Reliure de l'époque de demi-chagrin maroquiné vert-bronze, dos à nerfs orné de filets gras à froid, filet en pointillés dorés sur les nerfs, doubles caissons d'encadrement dorés, larges fleurons dorés, titre doré, filet et filet en pointillés dorés en tête et queue, tranches mouchetées. Edition originale de cette exhaustive étude consacrée à l'Exposition de 1878 ; agrémentée d'une abondante iconographie. Exemplaire - agréablement relié - complet de sa grande planche dépliante. Le palais du Trocadéro aussi appelé Palais de pierre est construit pour l'occasion par l' architecte Gabriel Davioud et l'ingénieur Jules Bourdais. Les statues des Continents qui ornent alors la façade du palais du Trocadero, ont été depuis lors réinstallées devant le musée d'Orsay. Au rang des principales attractions : la tête de la statue de la liberté est exposée au Champ-de-Mars, l'aquarium est aménagé sur le site abandonné d'anciennes carrières de pierre à bâtir, situé à flanc de la colline de Chaillot, l'inventeur Henri Giffard construit un ballon captif de 25 000 m3, capable d?emporter 40 à 50 passagers. (On dit alors que ce ballon, situé aux Tuileries, fit voler en deux mois autant de personnes que depuis le début de l?aérostation.). Parallèlement au ballon captif, la machine servant à produire le gaz permet de gonfler de nombreux ballons libres, permettant des ascensions variées, parfois par groupes (jusqu?à trois ballons simultanément). C'est d'ailleurs l'une des attractions phare de l'exposition où 35 000 personnes volèrent ainsi dans la nacelle. Enfin, et pour l'anecdote, la maison de Champagne Mercier expose un foudre de vin de Champagne d'une contenance de soixante-quinze mille bouteilles. Ce tonneau est pourtant battu en gigantisme par celui de la délégation de l'Autriche-Hongrie. Lequel contient cent-mille litres ! Angles et coupes élimés. Quelques claires rousseurs dans le corps d'ouvrage. Déchirure en marge gauche de la planche dépliante. Du reste, belle condition.…

First edition of this detailed unit history, held by the Imperial War Museum and the Australian War Memorial Library only, including eight folding maps and three original photographs concerning the campaign in Mesopotamia. "The narrative is based directly upon the War Diaries, other official sources, and the authors' own experiences. The result is authoritative" (Perkins). "The campaign in Mesopotamia was one of the chief subsidiary operations of the Great War and it was in this campaign that Indian Troops in general, and the Madras Sappers in particular, played their largest part" (Part I, p. 1). The first section, "The Madras Sappers in the Campaign in Mesopotamia, 1914-1918" by Lieutenant-Colonel R. Hamilton, Royal Engineers, narrates the early phase of the campaign, including operations on the Tigris and operations around Kut, before turning to the post-Kut British reorganization, the crossing of the Tigris, the capture of Baghdad, and the 1917-18 advance into Persia and Upper Mesopotamia. The eight maps illustrate operations near Nasiriya (1915), the relief of Kut, 1917 operations in the vicinity of the Tigris, British and Turkish trench systems in January 1917 near the River Hai, and the advance on Baghdad. Part II, Hamilton's "The Madras Sappers in the Arab Insurrection in Iraq, 1920", describes "the withstanding and suppressing of an insurrection in a very extensive area, where the British Forces were widely scattered, the lines of communication highly vulnerable, and the inhabitants warlike and well armed" (p. 1). The final section, "The 2nd Field Troop. The 2nd Q.V.O. Sappers and Miners in France and Mesopotamia. 1914 to 1916", is ascribed by a tipped-in slip to Major A. H. Morin, Indian Army Reserve Officer, who commanded the troop. Two pasted-in photographs show bridges constructed during Mesopotamia operations, while a third shows boat equipment and an experimental raft. Perkins, p. 439. Octavo. With 7 gelatin silver photographs and photographic half-tone pasted in, 8 folding maps at end, laid-down map with red outlining; slip tipped to table of contents, as issued. Original brown cloth, front cover lettered in black. Occasional pencil annotations internally. Damp stain at upper corner, text unaffected, binding light worn, front free endpaper with small loss, cockling caused by pasted-in material: very good.…
