First edition, first impression. 168pp, richly illustrated in full colour throughout. Black cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to spine. Steel blue endpapers. 4to. Volume is neat, clean, bright and tight throughout. Glossy, illustrated dust wrapper, very slightly bumped on extreme edges. Dust wrapper protective in a glassine sleeve; the sleeve itself is a little shelf worn. A study of the work of contemporary artist, Hughie O'Donoghue - of Irish descent, much of his work is inspired by the landscapes of County Mayo - but this work examines also his preoccupation with war and its legacy, not the grand military movements but the experience of the individual.
