Hardcover, partial leather binding, printed in 1921 - SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, G. LACOUR GAVET. The life and career of Napoleon - includes 25 reproductions of famous napoleon era paintings and numerous other illustrations illustrating French life of the period. At 588 pages and in a large format (12" x 9"), I assume this is a very authoritative book - unfortunately, I can't tell, as it is WRITTEN IN FRENCH. A beautiful book, it is  very sound and in very nice condition for it's age. There is a dedication on the inside front cover and some foxing throughout, but it's not bad and detracts little from the overall appearance of the book. Thanks for looking - if you have a moment, I have some other nice and varied items listed, including some very good additional books.  (LR3 or Ottom -1017)
