Description from the seller
A magnificent two-volume collector’s set from the prestigious Easton Press series, The Leather-Bound Library of Military History.
The Crécy War: A Military History of the Hundred Years War from 1337 to the Peace of Bretigny, 1360 by Lieutenant-Colonel Alfred H. Burne (Easton Press Collector’s Edition, 1997).
A classic, authoritative military analysis of the opening phase of the Hundred Years' War (1337–1360). Lt.-Col. Burne examines King Edward III’s strategic campaigns in France, culminating in the famous English victories at Crécy (1346) and Poitiers (1356), supported by tactical battle maps.
Bound in crimson full leather with intricate 22kt gold gilt stamping on the boards and spine, featuring heraldic motifs (fleurs-de-lis, lions, and a mounted knight).
Agincourt by Christopher Hibbert (Easton Press Collector’s Edition, 1995).
A vivid and gripping historical account of King Henry V’s 1415 campaign in France. Hibbert details the logistical preparations, the grueling siege of Harfleur, the exhausted march toward Calais, and the legendary Battle of Agincourt, where outnumbered English longbowmen decimated the French chivalry
Bound in deep burgundy/brown full leather with elaborate 22kt gold gilt geometric border tooling and raised spine hubs.
Both volumes are complete with their original unused Easton Press Ex Libris bookplates still attached and the separate "Collector's Notes" inserts.
Moire silk endpapers and matching sewn-in satin ribbon page markers.
Printed on archival-quality, acid-neutral paper.
Condition: Near Fine / As New.
The leather bindings are supple and bright, the gilt edges show minimal to no shelf wear (only very faint handling marks on the top gilt edge of Agincourt), and the interiors are crisp, clean, and unread.
