The Abyssinian Expedition, Grand Divertimento.

£50 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

AMOT 652, 424, “Col. lith. of infantry assaulting heights.” The cover lithography is by Stannard Son, the red-coats of the British troops have been hand-coloured over the tinted ground. Attractive item from the period of high enthusiasm for mementoes of the campaign, sadly lacking the last few pages of music, but the fine litho title in good condition bar a short tear to the imprint.
