The book presents exceptionally well, housed in a crisp, bright dust jacket that remains free from any notable creasing, chipping, or shelf-wear. The underlying maroon cloth boards are equally sharp, boasting un-bumped corners, a tight spine, and remarkably bright gilt lettering and tooling that shows no signs of oxidation. Internally, the binding remains perfectly firm and square, with hinges fully intact. The text block is immaculate, with bright, white pages that are entirely free from foxing, blemishes, or any off-setting, preserving the crispness of the numerous illustrations and maps throughout. An exceptionally clean and well-preserved copy. Catalogue Note: This 1993 facsimile edition by The Naval & Military Press is a highly regarded and complete reproduction of the original 1929 volume published by Methuen & Co. Serving as a crucial reference work for battlefield historians and genealogists, it reproduces the original volume unabridged. The work features a frontispiece illustrating the memorial tablet in Westminster Abbey, alongside a prefatory poem by Rudyard Kipling. Profusely illustrated with 959 black-and-white photographs and 31 maps, this hardback reprint remains scarce in such pristine condition, offering a durable and accessible alternative to the increasingly delicate true first editions. The Silent Cities stands as a monumental and moving tribute to the fallen of the First World War. Originally compiled with the assistance of the Imperial War Graves Commission, Sidney C. Hurstâs exhaustive guide meticulously documents the war cemeteries and memorials dedicated to the British and Empire 'Missing' across France and Flanders. Featuring an astonishing 959 illustrations and 31 detailed maps, the work provides a geographical and visual index to thousands of resting places, from massive memorials to isolated graves. Preceded by a poignant poem by Rudyard Kipling, who inspired the book's title, it remains an essential, deeply respectful companion for battlefield tourists, military historians, and those seeking to trace the footsteps of the fallen.
