The typical early 20th-century layout is accentuated by a central illustration printed in red, depicting several officers in uniform, including General Maunoury. The graphic design, both understated and detailed, clearly evokes the military iconography of World War I.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the left side, the mentions \"Général Dubail, de Liège à Verdun 1914-1916, illustrée par Ch. Fouqueray\" (General Dubail, from Liège to Verdun 1914-1916, illustrated by Ch. Fouqueray) are visible, while the right side bears \"Maréchal Fayolle, de la Somme au Rhin 1916-1918, illustrée par Lucien Jonas\" (Marshal Fayolle, from the Somme to the Rhine 1916-1918, illustrated by Lucien Jonas). These indications demonstrate the thematic division of the work, with each part entrusted to a renowned illustrator of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAround the central illustration, an ornamental red frame with vegetal and graphic motifs gives the cover a sophisticated aesthetic, characteristic of early 20th-century French historical publications. The bottom of the cover mentions the presence of inserts, watercolors, headpieces, tailpieces, drop caps, and ornaments, highlighting the rich iconography of the content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe publisher's name is clearly legible: \"Librairie Schwarz, 34, Chaussée d’Antin, Paris\".

The whole is printed on cream paper, slightly patinated by time, with traces of folds and a visible tear on the upper left corner, signs of ancient use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe black and red typographic printing, the graphic presentation, and the fonts used visually place the work in the 1910s-1920s, consistent with the subject matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
