DEUTSCHLAND ZUR SEE [GERMANY ON THE SEA], CIRCA 1905

A brief overview of the development and the current status of the German Navy....,, by Bernhard Teutsch-Lerchenfeld, plates only, comprising 31 superb colour mounted 8 × 13in. lithographed plates on larger black cartridge paper mounts, each with gilt-embossed titles, contained within original green buckram folder, titled and decorated with a gilt sword surmounted by a white battleship, the plates perfect but the folder would benefit from a little repair -- 14 x 18in. (36 x 46cm.)

Although lacking the small text volume, these plates give a wonderfully colourful view of the ships of the Imperial German Navy just prior to the Dreadnought age. A complete copy of this work was sold in these rooms, 24th November 2020, lot 197
