The History of The Order of The Bath and its Insignia by James C Risk - 1972 .

Condition is New.

Hardback.

Although originally published in 1972, this is still the best study of the Order of the Bath. Drawing on a most comprehensive variety of sources, it traces the history of the Order from its eighteenth century origins to its recent history. The work includes a most detailed examination of the Insignia. Sir Anthony Wagner, Garter King of Arms at the time of publication, wrote ‘Mr Risk’s exposition is clearer and more complete than previous accounts’.
