First Edition. This from the dustwrapper:" The Model Ship is a compelling study of the role played by the model over six millennia of maritime development. Models of ships have been produced for many purposes since men first began to use the water as a means of transport, and this comprehensive book describes the wide variety of models which have survived, ranging from Ancient Egyptian funerary boats, Napoleonic prisoner of war models, shipbuilders' models, ships in bottles and instructional models. The more recent use of models for specialised testing in tanks and wind tunnels is discussed, as are the largescale models which are used for film work. Detailed attention has been given to acquiring a critical eye for the types of different ship models - an aspect of particular value to collectors, antique dealers andnautical enthusiasts. An informative chapter on modern modellers in the UK and the USA illustrates their skilled work and at the end of the book is a useful list of places where ship models can be seen worldwide, a detailed index and a separate index of ship and installation names. Lovers of ships and the sea, maritime historians, and collectors of model ships and ships in bottles will find much to enjoy in this splendidly illustrated and informative book by an author who is an expert on the subject, and a collector himself." Blue cloth with gilt titles in illustrated dustwrapper, well illustrated throughout, 191 pages, 8.75 X 11 inches, Fine book in a fine dustwrapper.F/F.…
