1878 EXQUISITE William Shakespeare Illustrated Charles Knight Romeo Juliet 2v

A beautiful 19th-century edition of the works of William Shakespeare!

It included all of the famous works one would expect to be in a collection of Shakespeare, but unlike other editions of the same era, this particular example features the impressive full-page engravings of character portraits.

This 1878 American edition was published in Philadelphia by Amies. An impressive example of Shakespeare.

1888 Black Phalanx Negro Soldiers African American Military Civil War Abolition
Joseph T. Wilson was an African-American soldier who served in the 54th Massachusetts during the American Civil War. While his military career was not extensive, it did provide him with an understanding of the role that black men had during the 19th-century. He began writing poems and speeches, most of which were used to push an abolitionist-like agenda – black suffrage, full citizenship, and social reforms. His best book, and to this day most-known, was 'The Black Phalanx' which was the most comprehensive study of African-American military service in the 19th-century.

1686 GREEK & ROMAN Military Dutch Netherlands Wars Elephants Woodcuts Paffenrode

Jan van Paffenrode was a 17th-century Dutch soldier who was much better known for his poems and writings on military tactics than his military service. After the successes of his poems and his translation portions of Ovid's 'Metamorphoses', Paffenrode wrote a treatise on Greek and Roman military at the onset of the Franco-Dutch War in in the 1670s. This work, "Greek and Roman Military Trade" compared ancient classical battle tactics to modern Dutch techniques.

This 1686 edition includes numerous engravings depicting gear and weaponry used in ancient battles – footwear, helmets, scepters. However, the illustration of the War Elephant is easily the most interesting of all of the engravings found in this work!
