. The coloured postcards show the following vessels : HMS Dreadnought Making a Record -:- HMS Dreadnought 'On Guard' in the North Sea -:- HMS Superb at Anchor -:- HMS Bellerophon on Gun Trial -:- HMS Invincible Coming Into Harbour -:- HMS Indomitable Home AGain. The photographs and cards are mounted onto thick card, all the photographs are fronted by a glassine title leaf, the text is on art paper, all bound within a full calf gilt case, all edges gilt, the binding with silk end-papers, signed by EYRE & SPOTTISWOODE. The leaves are now coming loose from the binding, the spine is wearing at the ends, despite which both joints are intact, the front board carries the gilt Royal coat of arms, the rear board has the gilt Admiralty device. *This clearly a special production for a high functionary probably naval - an ink inscription on the verso of the front free end-paper reads 'B.J. Dec.1940'; an erased pencil signature can just be read - W. R. YEADELL ?. However, the style of binding and printing is considerably earlier than 1940; all of the named ships were completed in 1906-1907 and the appearance is of a work pre-WWI.
