La victoire de Lorraine. 24 Août - 12 Septembre 1914. Carnet d'un officier de dragons

First edition because revised and increased, one of the few copies on Japan of which there is no mention.
Bound in brown half morocco with corners, back with five nerves set with golden dots and adorned with double gilded boxes, small traces of rubbing on the back, a slightly fragile bit, framing of double golden nets on the mottled paper plates marbled, guards and contreplats of handmade paper, cover preserved, gilded head, elegant unsigned binding.
Nice copy pleasantly established.
Beautiful autograph dedication signed by Adrien Bertrand: "To Mr. J. Van Melle that the sadness of the invasion have forced Nancy to establish this book, under the bombing."
