SOLD - WWI book entitled:"U.S. Official Pictures of the World War Showing American Participation: Selected From Official Files of the War Dept," written by Moore, William E. And James C. Russell. Hardcover binding. Publisher:Pictorial Bureau, Washington DC, copyright 1920. Each page is filled with superb sepia photos and maps. Great for the WWI collector!
Good Condition but spine is loosening from binding and there has been extra binding repair at the top of the spine long ago. Some tears and creases on last page. All other pages are in tact and overall it is really in very good condition. Measures 11 1/8 inches x 9 1/8 inches, 2 1/8 inches deep.
I found about six copies listed online however, each of these were all described as having 595-600 pages and have the decorated cover with a paste down of doughboy firing his Springfield on front cover. The unusual book we offer has the completely embossed cover with picture and lettering both embossed and is two books in one with the first one being 576 pages followed by a page of The Three Decorations for American Soldiers, followed by the 32 page Final Report of Gen. John J. Pershing Commander in Chief of American Expeditionary Forces in that war, followed by The United States Navy in the World War Official Pictures (selected from the files of the Navy department, the War Department and the United States Marine Corps, which is 320 pages, copyright 1921. This totals approximately 928 pages of awesome pictorial history!
