The Great Adventure of 1914-1918

The Great Adventure of 1914-1918

[Melbourne, Gordon and Gotch, circa 1919].

Oblong tall octavo, [3]-34 pages (lacking the wrappers) with a vignette illustration, 28 pages of plates (some from photographs, with all but two full-page) and 2 maps on the last page. The missing wrappers comprised a pictorial title, an index, a chronological table, and the colophon.

Outer pages a little tanned and foxed; first leaf a little creased, with corner tips missing; minor signs of use and age; a decent copy.

Primarily a picture book; there is one introductory page of text, and a two-page prose piece, 'The March Past' at the rear. Trove correctly attributes authorship of this work to Roy Bridges. Not in Dornbusch; not in Fielding and O'Neill.
