For all our readers who have been following the latest superb series published in these pages by William Mowll, this volume is evidently an essential follow up. The excellent series of articles he has contributed to our magazine over the past years have been much appreciated by many modelers for the very high level of craftsmanship he has achieved in building the subject ships and in bringing to the fore advanced techniques in many aspects of their construction...
...This a book that will be appreciated by scale modelers of any standard, and also by anyone interested in the warships of the later Victorian period. It is a must for those of our readers who have enjoyed Will’s publications in our pages here.

As with the other volumes in the series, this book is compiled from the hand drawn and paintsaking annotated Identification albums of Richard Perkins, a keen Naval historian, well known in research circles for his exhaustive interwar collection of Royal Navy warship negatives and for founding the Naval Photographic Club. The albums were (unsurprisingly) conceived to aid the identification of vessels from sightings and photographs and Mr Perkins further aids this by identifying vessels as well as providing a superb overview of the changes in design philosophy that occurred in cruiser design at the admiralty in this time frame. A great reference resource again present in large format (VERY large in this case ) and very will printed presented and bound. Recommended!
