(Job). French troops at all times. Land and sea armies. Watercolors by Job. (Job). French troops at all times. Army and Navy. Watercolors by Job. From the publication offices. Paris (1901) [for the 1st volume]. [Volumes 2 and 3 are marked: ] Text by members of "La Sabretache". Paris. Ancienne librairie Furne. Combet & Cie. 1903 for the 2nd, 1904 for the 3rd. (1904) for volume 4. Four in-4 volumes (25.5 x 33.5 cm) of (6)-104 (i.e. 96, pagination error: 40 to (49))-(4) pp. 48 plates (+ 48 captioned serpents) for volume 1 / (4)-100 pp. 44 plates (of 48) for volume 2 / (4)-96 pp. 48 plates for volume 3 / 96-(4) pp. 44 plates (of 48) for volume 4. Dark brown half-basane, five-ribbed spine. First edition. A monumental study of military costume, theoretically illustrated with 192 color plates by Job and numerous in-text drawings in black and color. Job's most important scholarly work, maniacally precise, but not without a certain humor at times. The rarest Book of Job. The work was subscribed and published in issues, each containing four plates out of text in black (for the cheaper edition) or in color (for the deluxe edition); two issues - which were not bound - are missing from our copy (one in volume 2, one in volume 4), which therefore contains 184 / 192 color plates out of text of Job. The title page of volume 3 is addressed to Leroy, dated 1904. A rare set despite this original defect.
