THE HISTORICAL MEMOIRS OF THE XVIII [EIGHTEENTH] HUSSARS (Princess of Wales's Own).

Publisher's deluxe dark blue morocco ruled and with the regimental insignia in gilt to the upper board, five raised bands, gilt decorated compartments and titles in gilt to the spine. Outer board edges stamped in blind. All edges gilt. Marbled endpapers. With a tissue-guarded frontispiece portrait of HRH Victoria Mary of Teck (1867-1953), Princess of Wales, taken by royal photographers William and Daniel Downey, and twenty-two further plates throughout the text, seven of which are by Major R.A. Wymer, and in colour. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the gilt fresh, with some rubbing and a small chip at the head of the slightly faded spine. The contents, with a gift inscription to the blank reverse of the front endpaper and some mild spotting to the flyleaves and occasionally to the margins throughout, are otherwise clean throughout. A handsome volume.

Issued simultaneously in this deluxe binding of full blue morocco and a regular binding of blue cloth and gilt, the deluxe issue is uncommon.
