Untitled,  first part opens with running title "Over de zedelijke vorming van het kader" (p. 635-1268).

Second section of book bears a title- "Verslag der Commissie Tot Onderzoek van het Mitrailleurvraagstuk" (pp. 1- 296).
Published c. 1903-04, (? Batavia, Indonesia).
c. 950 pages. Text in Dutch. Prints at rear showing men, animals and guns, various technical folding plates throughout including a few military map diagrams.

Antiquarian 1/2 cloth binding, marbled covers. Impossible to collate, sold as seen and described, likely complete text and who knows about the various plates. We count 20 plates, many folding, nine are photogravure plates with the imprint of Topographical Bureau of Batavia.

Book is physically old and shows some signs of handling and time. Possibly an Indonesian imprint or book binding.

Binding well age worn but still appealing, covers loose, rear board with crease, cloth is stained, rubbed, dried with splits or small holes, but still holding, some evidence of old damp staining (no odor).

Text block paper is gently age toned as typical, front hinge cracked rendering cover loosened, internally book remains mostly clean, tight and sound. 

Still attractive on the shelf. Book displays a pleasing and unique age patina and is in rather nice antiquarian condition, any age flaws seem easy to overlook or forgive. 

Please review photos for more detailed attempt to present this rare Dutch military book as it survives. 

We often over-describe any flaws that many sellers would not even bother to mention since most people would overlook them as minor and unworthy of comment. Many people tell us the books they receive from us are nicer in person than they appears on the screen. We want you to be clear about what you are buying, so we take numerous photos and try to describe it openly and honestly.
