Aries: Armes blanches militaires Françaises, du règne de Louis XIV à nos jours. Over 350 plates. Includes a bound index!
From time to time, we acquire sets of "Aries" plates, though the number of plates varies.
These plates were originally sent to subscribers who received them as they were released.
Some subscribers dropped out before the series was complete, passed away, or felt that all the topics of interest to them had been covered, and so on.
The set we are offering here is arguably the most complete one we have ever listed.
The previous owner appears to have been a friend of Mr. C. Aries; they corresponded, and Aries even inscribed the index for him.
It was only Mr. Aries's death that brought the acquisition of the plates to a halt.
We found a few photocopies of plates in this lot—sometimes multiple copies of the same plate—and have removed the duplicates.
While we cannot guarantee that this set contains 100% of all published plates, it is certainly possible; in any case, it is an essential collection for historians and reenactors who want the best possible information.
At our selling price, EACH PLATE WORKS OUT TO LESS THAN 2 EUROS—a price far removed from the original cost of these plates, which were the result of an unprecedented level of scholarly research...
Nantes. Published by the author. 1966–1978.
The history of each model is presented with a precise description—including details on weight, dimensions, and variants—and illustrated with detailed drawings by Michel Petard, a leading authority in the field.
A work of unparalleled quality; the cost is easily recouped by the errors you will avoid making thanks to the information contained in the plates.
Good condition.
The index helps navigate the publications, which did not always follow a logical order; it also provides additional details on certain plates—in short, it is a valuable aid for using the collection.
The set comprises over 350 double-page plates housed in jackets (we counted 359, plus 5 photocopies and various letters and addenda).
Some jackets are original while others are not; some have reinforced spines. Format: 24 x 32 cm.
