No Dust JacketBook: Blemishes - Light rubbing on panel edges caused by shelf storage. Light soiling on page edges of a few of the pages. The LR front panel is curled (photo). The book has a Preface and commercial advertisements (Paris) on all but the Title Panel (photo).
For a century-old crudely bound publication--with paper of any quality a rare commodity during the mid-point of World War I--this is a remarkably preserved and rare limited-edition copy. Unblemished photographs and drawings on every page and the binding is still firm and strong.
Heavily biased (propaganda) Belgian account of the German invasion and occupation of World War I Belgium.
"Cometh the day that all shall pay."

From the Publisher's Website:
"The Renaissance court masque, traditionally an entertainment of music, dancing, pageantry, and spectacular scenic effects, was transformed by Ben Jonson into a serious mode of literary expression. By using its peculiar viability as a forum for his dramatic imagination, Jonson resolved and transcended the satiric vision that was in many ways the substance of Jonsonian drama. He instructed as well as applauded his courtly audience and, with the aid of the great theatrical designer Inigo Jones, brought unity to the diverse elements of the masque, infusing them with a moral and poetic… Read More
