FINE Condition

This is a signed museum presentation edition of “Don Troiani’s Civil War” that was prepared for presentation to the Smithsonian Institute, the Pentagon, and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and published by the Easton Press in 1996. Kevin Kiley writing for Book Edition Reviews provides the best summary of this edition,

“Don Troiani is undoubtedly the best military artist in the United States today and his Civil War paintings accurately portray the armies of that most terrible of wars. Colorful, realistic, and full of movement, action, and the terror of combat, they have moved up to fill a void that was created with the passing of the older generation of great American military painters such as H. Charles McBarron and Clyde Risley.

This book is a noteworthy compendium of his Civil War paintings, and, accompanied by authoritative text by Brian Pohanka, is a valuable addition to the growing crescendo of Civil War literature. Accurate, gritty, and covering the subject from muzzle to buttplate, this account and the paintings it describes bring the war to life on your bookshelf or coffee table. No other painter today, with the exception of Keith Rocco and his Napoleonic paintings, has captured the world of the combat soldier as Troaini has.

If you don't own this book, you are definitely missing out on a part of history.”

Measuring 8.5” x 11.5” and containing 191 pages, the book is bound in full leather boards with an inlaid art work by Don Troiani and features the usual Easton Press fineries of silk moiré endpapers, gold gilding and gilting, and a built in satin bookmark.

The book is in FINE condition and been signed on a special presentation page by Don Troiani.
