New York & Philadelphia: [Plon Brothers of Paris for] Appleton, 1851. A fine copy in a very handsome binding, the plates with some occasional soiling to the mounts, but unobtrusive and not affecting plates. Overall, very fresh and bright. Folio (542 x 425 mm). 12 lithographed plates by Bayot after drawings by Carl Nebel, each finely hand-colored and finished with touches of gum arabic, by Lemercier of Paris. Modern red half morocco spine gilt, contemporary printed boards mounted on sides. FIRST EDITION. THE BEST PICTORIAL RECORD OF THE WAR WITH MEXICO. Kendall, a journalist with the New Orleans Picayune, had repeatedly endorsed U.S. military action against Mexico. When war broke out, he "rode with the rangers, witnessed most of Taylor's battles, and himself captured a cavalry flag...he attached himself as a voluntary aide to the staff of General Worth and saw nearly all the fighting from Vera Cruz to Chapultepec. He was mentioned in dispatches and was wounded in the knee in the storming of the last fortress" (DAB). Bennett p. 65 ("these seem...the very best American battle scenes in existence"); Howes K-76 ("b," "The fine plates by Carl Nebel were produced at Paris, the text printed at New Orleans, the book bound and sold by Appleton in New York"); Sabin 37362.

Heightened with gum arabic by Adolphe Jean-Baptiste Bayot after Carl Nebel): "Nebel's version of Scott's entrance sticks closer to the truth and is packed with psychological drama. There is no doubt here that the war is still on. Loaded cannons are posted to sweep the streets, while a body of dragoons in the foreground gathers tensely with drawn sabers near General Scott and his staff. In a particularly effective narrative detail, one of the dragoon officers, on a white horse in the center foreground, glares at a lepero on the left who is preparing to throw a stone.
