19c Engraved Copper Book Plate Of Sir Charles William Chadwick Oman KBE FBA. Condition is "Used" but good. Lovely little bookplate that has come from a good home with lots of provenance.

This item came from the collection of Sir Roy Strong and his wife Julia Trevelyan Oman Lady Strong CBE. The collection was an important part of their exquisite home and it included many family items such as this little 10 by 6.5 cm bookplate. Beautifully engraved in the aesthetic style and taste, probably circa 1870 in date I would think.

Sir Charles William Chadwick Oman, KBE, FBA (12 January 1860 – 23 June 1946) was a British military historian. His reconstructions of medieval battles from the fragmentary and distorted accounts left by chroniclers were pioneering. Occasionally his interpretations have been challenged, especially his widely copied thesis that British troops defeated their Napoleonic opponents by firepower alone.[citation needed] Paddy Griffith, among modern historians, claims that the British infantry's discipline and willingness to attack were equally important.

This is a lovely genuine old item from a great Military historian and writer of his time.
