RARE 1900 ILLUSTRATED
GERMANY'S ARMY & NAVY CD


An ARCHIVAL CD ROM--of a rare old 200+ page bound volume,

GERMANY'S ARMY AND NAVY
By Pen and Picture
Compiled from the Latest and Best Authorities; with Accounts of their Organization, Composition, and Classification
by Gustav A. Sigel
With Important Original Contributions on the German Army
by Major-General von Specht
Artistically Illustrated by
THE WERNER COMPANY
Akron, Ohio
1900

The Werner Company of Akron was at the forefront of new developments in printing technology at the end of the 19th century. Chromolithographic color plates depict the uniforms of officers and enlisted men of various famous German Army Regiments performing military tasks. The naval section shows uniforms of officers and enlisted Seamen and Marines as well as principal ships of the German Navy. Illustrations also show weapons and equiptment including a few aircraft and dirigibles in use at the time.

Relatively few copies of this book have survived intact over the years, largely due to its size and the overwhelming temptation to break up the book to gain the colorful plates. The original volume often lists for hundreds of dollars on internet book lists.

The FORTY-ONE magnificent chromolithograph illustrations look great on the computer screen. Careful scanning captures the depth & detail of the work and each page can be MAGNIFIED.

The CD runs under 4.0 or later versions of Netscape or Internet Explorer (on or off-line). It navigates like a web site, but downloads are instantaneous. Minimum requirements Windows 95, Pentium (or equivalent), 16 meg ram, 8x CD drive. Javascript must be enabled. Best viewed at screen resolution of 800 x 600.
