Mektebi Harbiye Matbaasi [Istanbul 1907]. First edition. Small FOLIO 30X21cm. First part (the second had been published in 1909), covering 13261826.

From the library of the orientalist H.Schaefer. Overall a very good set. Mahmud Shevket Pasha (18561913) was an Ottoman general and statesman, known for his active role to reorganize the Ottoman army as a leading member of the Young Turks. He was the Ottoman Prime minister by the time he had been assassinated in June 1913. His publication, in a very limited print run of 300 copies, for the Ottoman military remained a landmark for Ottoman print, as it was the first chromolithography used in Ottoman printing.
