THE WAR OF NATIONS: Portfolio in Rotogravure Etchings is a large-format pictorial chronicle of World War I (1914–1918) that assembles rotogravure etchings and wartime photographs into a journalistic visual narrative. Produced by the Mid‑Week Pictorial of The New York Times, the portfolio emphasizes the global scale and human dimension of the conflict through portraits of participants, battlefield scenes and cartographic inserts, reflecting early 20th‑century photojournalism’s effort to explain the war to a broad readership.
As a photographic album and portfolio, the work is notable for its high‑quality rotogravure plates, illustrative etchings, portraits and included maps, making it both a visual record and a reference piece; its publication by the Mid‑Week Pictorial (The New York Times) anchors it in contemporaneous press coverage, and surviving copies are prized by collectors and institutions for their photographic fidelity and historical value.

Before you enlist a new title into your personal library, check the Condition Report below to see how much action these volumes have seen:
New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
