Description:
Title-leaf + 11 plates of tables + 6 plates (incl. duplicate of plate 2). (Oblong 4to) 21x30 cm (8¼x11¾"), blue cloth lettered in gilt.
Atlas volume only of the scarce game of tactical conflict, lacking the text volume. One of the plates is a map, the others are color blocks of troops, indicators of military operations, and a "firing board." It seems a very complex and advanced game, more for military instruction than for fun. Ownership inscription dated 1894 on front free endpaper.
Condition
Spine ends and corners worn; front free endpaper torn; very good.
