When I first saw this advertised I mistakenly thought it was a book, well you would it being Osprey because in the past they have produced some really impressive books using various illustrations from their eclectic range of publications.  I should have looked more closely because in a diversion from their norm Osprey have produced a set of 40 full color postcards a little bit larger than your usual 5 by 7 inch photographic print.

And what a brilliant collection they are too.   The selected pictures range form the ancient Greeks through to the Second World War and as the title "Battle" suggests the subject matter is warfare at its most violent.  Included are Greeks, Romans Celts, Normans, Goths, etc but not all limited to the European theatre of operations.  Several feature Oriental subjects, and to provide maximum coverage there are infantry action, cavalry charges, sea battles and aviation dog fights.  The heavy high quality card exhibit vibrant color and the set, as a collection it is, is supplied in an excellent box.

So if you are looking for a perfect gift for a re-enactor check this out... All you really need are 40 frames to display them in because I feel as post cards they would be wasted shoved into a postbox, always assuming the post office isn't on strike of course!!!

Overall the concept is brilliant and what you get for less than a tenner is an absolute bargainI   I only wish all of these had been put into a hard back book format but perhaps in future this may happent.   My thanks to Osprey for the supply of the books and these post cards for reviews for more information follow the links to the Osprey website and up to date publication information.
