Spanish manuscript on paper. 2 w., 82 nn., 4 w. Bl. 20,5 x 14,8 cm. Rich ornamentally blind-embossed leather d. Z. (slowly rubbed and bruised, tiny reference defects, joints only minimally brittle) with gold-eporated title, gold fillets on the lid, standing and pretty inner edge gilding as well as three-sided gold cutting. Spain around 1865. Rarely the "Design of a Military Observation" of one of the most important figures of the Spanish military engineering and founder of the renowned monument of the Engineering Corps, Antonio Remón Zarco del Valle y Huet (1785-1866), arose against the background of the numerous revolutionary uprisings that shook Central Europe between 1848 and 1849. In the face of deep instability, Spain's Queen Isabella II sent her. Zarco del Valle on a multifaceted diplomatic and scientific mission, the results of which he laid down in this valuable historical, technical and strategic document. In fact, the "Bosquejo" was never published in print. The conceptual design (Bosquejo), which was created in 1858, was intended to form a sketch for a more comprehensive publication, which was no longer available. So only a few handwritten copies have come to us, the one present here has remained unknown to date. – Very cleanly written, easy to read and with hardly any traces of usage. A little silver-plated, old adhesive shield.
