First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. This work on the lives of military commanders who were not only brave but also wise contains biographies of Edward, the Black Prince, Joan of Arc, and Peter the Great, in addition to nine Japanese and Chinese commanders. The work is one of the very first Japanese texts to feature an illustration of Joan of Arc. The artist of the illustration in question is unknown, but the image is skillfully drawn. Scarce, with only one set located in OCLC, at the National Diet Library, the three volumes include 7 colour woodblock-printed frontispieces and 32 black and white double-page woodblock-printed illustrations. Original boards, with minor scrapes and loss to outer title slip. A little damage to endpapers. Ink stains to five leaves. Light stains and soiling. Very minor wormhole repairs. Overall good to very good. 3 v., complete. 30, 33, 27 leaves. 22.3 x 15.7 cm. Text in Japanese. .
