Very Rare 1885 Officer Of The Watch Royal Navy Handbook With Early Dustjacket

A GENUINELY RARE NAVAL ITEM. BY HUGH TALBOT : The Officer of The Watch.

GRIFFIN & CO, PORTSMOUTH 1885. No copies located on Library Hub. However, a copy is held by the Navy Department Library at Washington Navy Yard, USA. This is the only known copy other than the present example, in any edition. The ownership inscription is for Captain A. Balfour of the Royal Indian Marines, of Allermuir House, Colinton, Edinburgh, who was a cousin of Robert Louis Stevenson. The original internal covers are plain white paper, the printed parchment wrapper is therefore a very early example of a dustjacket.
