This is a detailed and comprehensive collection of the work of the most notable contemporary Italian gun engravers, accompanied by a commentary in Italian and English. A certain amount of material included in earlier editions has been dropped, and "a further two-hundred unpublished photographs have been added. .to give space to the more recent works done by the Italian engravers and also to complete the volume with historical engravings which distinguished the major manufacturers of fine English guns." This is two books in one with the Italian text on one side of each page and the English text on the other. The English translation is competently done whilst following the original quite closely.
