First edition first print hardback of BRITISH BATTLESHIPS OF THE VICTORIAN ERA by Norman Friedman and published by Seaforth Publishing in 2018. Large format. Weighs around 2.3KG when packaged.

The book is in as new condition (green cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine) with no significant wear. The book is in an as new unclipped dust jacket which also has no wear to speak of. Internally the pages are clean and tight.

Beginning with the earliest installation of steam machinery in ships of the line, the book traces the technological revolution that saw the introduction of iron hulls, armour plate, shell-firing guns and the eventual abandonment of sail as auxiliary propulsion. This hectic development finally settled down to a widely approved form of pre-dreadnought battleship, built in large numbers and culminating in the King Edward VII class. As with all of his work, Friedman is concerned to explain why as well as how and when these advances were made, and locates British ship design firmly within the larger context of international rivalries, domestic politics and economic constraints.

400 pages including Notes, Bibliography, Ship Data, Ship List and Index. Illustrated with black & white and colour photographs, drawings and diagrams.
