Soldiers and Citizens was written by Ambrose Bierce and translated into Dutch by Jan Spierdijk. This original edition from 1949 is illustrated with original wood engravings by Jeanne Bieruma Oosting. The well-known woodcut of the Snake from the story The Man and the Snake, among others, has its origins in this book.
The book is in very good condition considering its age. Only the back two pages have slightly more spots and the darker pages have crosses in pencil, as can be seen in the photos. The remaining pages are all in very good condition. All wood engravings are also in beautiful condition and untouched.
