About this Item

NO Date given - but another copy online gives it as c. 1930 - and the last print in the book is dated 1930 - so it is definitely around that date. In the original publisher's grey coloured card covers with a Ribbon binding, with the lettering/titling in dark blue, and with the Scots Guards insignia decorating the front cover. A little light shelfwear and a couple of biro marks on the covers but overall VG. (see photos) This is Volume 1 of a proposed series of Atholl Prints entitled "Types of the British Army". "The Portfolio contains 8 large ('tissue' guarded) coloured plates illustrating the uniforms worn at the present day (c. 1930) on various occasions by the Officers, NCOs and Guardsmen. An interesting summary of the History of the Regiment since its inception in the reign of Charles 1, is also included. A loose sheet describing this book is also loosely inserted. The production is unique in that it is the first Art Production completely produced from quarter plate negatives taken from life in natural colours with a specially designed camera in which the colours are photographed simultaneously on different plates by means of colour separation filters. The plates have been placed in the cover in such a manner that any may be easily detached - for framing or similar." This is also therefore research material, etc, for those interested in the history of photography and printing and related. No pagination. Overall an Excellent Very Clean, Tight and Bright Near FINE copy. Scarce. ; Types of the British Army; Folio 13" - 23" tall.
