About This Item
The E. McKnight Kauffer dust jacket is slightly outside his usual style of the era, presenting a classical profile in silhouette amid a graph featuring icons of man's development, notably, for 1943, stressing the technology of war. Dust jacket is now preserved in a removable, clear archival sleeve.
