The two volumes are attractively bound in half leather with marbled boards, raised bands and gilt decoration and lettering to the spines. The bindings show normal signs of age and use, particularly to the edges and corners. The interiors are generally well preserved with some age-related spotting/discolouration. The folding maps are preserved and remain particularly attractive. A complete and handsome set of Foch's important First World War memoirs, especially desirable for its extensive collection of 16 military maps.
