Hi Dingusmcgoo,

Is this the collection of illustrations? Depending on if 1st ed, and condition anything from £200 to £2000 online - you need to get it seen by a specialist.

Yes, Ann. there are 48 illustrations in the book along with descriptions of the battles. I have contacted a rare book website with a description of the book and, without seeing it have valued it to be worth £3OOO - £4OOO. Thanks for your help.
