This lot features three original hardcover volumes of The War Illustrated, specifically Volumes 6, 7, and 8, edited by Sir John Hammerton and published by The Amalgamated Press Ltd. during the 1940s. These comprehensive historical records provide a contemporary account of World War II through "land and sea and in the air," containing thousands of photographic illustrations, maps, and diagrams that document key events like the fall of Sebastopol and the leadership of General Eisenhower. The books are bound in their distinctive deep red cloth with gold-stamped spines and cover motifs; they show age-related wear including some scuffing and fraying to the edges of the boards and spines, while the internal pages remain intact with expected tanning and foxing consistent with their age.
