First and only edition. This souvenir of the subterranean warfare exercise held at the Regimental School of Engineering, Arras, in 1876, lists the personnel, shows the various fortifications and mining operations to assault and countermining to defend them, both figuratively and diagrammatically; details the mining equipment, in…cluding ventilation and drilling machinery, and techniques; and includes a certain amount of caricature and typically facetious army humour. An attractive and scarce item: WorldCat records copies at Kansas State and Brown universities only; not apparently in the BnF. Landscape small quarto (272 x 183mm). Lithographed title page and 53 lithographed plates, one of them double-page, one of them in rudimentary tint. Original green cloth, neatly rebacked to match, title in blind to the front board. Some foxing, but overall very good.
