Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice older book in good condition. Some tanning and marking due to age. Limited edition 1500 copies. Cover has some marking. Plates and pages are excellent for age. Year 1924. Hardcover. English. See images for condition. About the book >.>.> There may be family associations which give to certain pictures a personal charm. Similarly, the subject may be treated in various ways. For example, the prints might be dealt with simply as works of art, and from this standpoint the exacting critic might not appraise many of them highly. Again, there is the arch?ological point of view, from which might be surveyed or analysed their merits or demerits as exhibiting accuracy or otherwise in regard to development of hull, rigging, or other details of equipment. It must be admitted that in some cases the artist has allowed his imagi- nation to obscure historical fact. Something must be allowed for artistic licence. But other factors also should be noticed. For instance, in the two Van de Veldes in this collection, the engraver has reversed the original paintings, thus altering the position of the ships and giving an erroneous impression of the situation.…

George Newnes Ltd. is a British publisher. The company was founded in 1891 by George Newnes (1851-1910), considered a founding father of popular journalism. Newnes published such magazines and periodicals as Tit-Bits, The Wide World Magazine, The Captain, The Strand Magazine, The Grand Magazine, John O'London's Weekly, Sunny Stories for Little Folk, Woman's Own, and the "Practical" line of magazines overseen by editor Frederick J. Camm. Long after the founder's death, Newnes was known for publishing groundbreaking consumer magazines such as Nova. Newnes published books by such authors as Enid Blyton, Richmal Crompton, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, George Goodchild, P. G. Wodehouse, and John Wyndham. Today, the Newnes imprint books continue to be published by Elsevier. The portraits from Celebrities of the Army published by G. Newnes, collected and edited by Naval Commander Charles Napier Robinson (1849-1936) have been described as 'the finest collection of moustaches ever seen'! After serial publication, these portraits and text were then published in book form. These are portraits of the cream of the senior officers of the British Army (such 'celebrities' increasing their prominence due to the Boer War, a focus of the serial publications). Charles Napier Robinson (27 January 1849 - 14 September 1936) was an English journalist and story writer. After a career in the Royal Navy, during which he achieved the rank of Commander, he became a journalist, specializing in naval matters. In his lifetime Robinson witnessed the Naval Review of 1854 and the Silver Jubilee Review of 1936 and as a participant, spectator or correspondent he witnessed all the Naval Reviews of the 80 years between. During his military service he witnessed fighting during the American Civil War. He was born in Thanet in Kent in 1849, one of five children of Alexander Robinson, a Paymaster 1st Class and Purser in the Royal Navy. In 1861 aged 13 Charles Robinson joined the Royal Navy and was promoted Lieutenant in September 1872. He was Mentioned in Dispatches for actions against slaving dhows off the East African coast. After twenty years of service he retired early in July 1882 under the Childers Scheme with the rank of Commander. Between 1895 and 1903 Robinson was the editor of the periodical The Navy and Army Illustrated. He was assistant editor of the Army and Navy Gazette and a founder of the Society for Nautical Research being a member of the original Council of 1910-11 and was a member of the Publication Committee. In 1921 he became a Vice-President and in 1931 was appointed an Honorary Vice-President. After his long and a distinguished service in the Royal Navy he became the Naval Correspondent for The Times, a position he held for 45 years and was editor of The Naval Annual. Robinson was also "a prolific author who had a considerable impact on how naval history was both written and understood" and was a writer of naval fiction. He received the Royal United Services Institute's Chesney Medal for his contribution to naval literature. His book The British Fleet, the Growth, Achievements, and Duties of the Navy of the Empire (1894) became essen.…
