This beautiful memoir has a 3/4 binding with marbled dark blue boards and gilt edges. Inside of both boards and flyleaves also beautifully marbled. It is a first edition with a tissue-guarded frontispiece. Minimal scuffing along the sides of the spine, edges and corners. Pages tight and clean. Illustrations by author's brother Charles Huard, who was the official painter to the Sixth Army in France--12 illustrations and a full-page pen-and-ink sketch of a French soldier opposite the frontispiece. Bookplate inside the front cover reads "Edmund Lincoln Baylies" (1857-1932), who was a NY lawyer and member of NY high society during the Gilded Age. A very good copy and fine addition to any library.
