Description: 1824 Swimming Training in French Military Courtivron Illustrated Natation Diving Curious, valuable treatise on French military swimming training! In 1823, Viscount of Courtivron published a study, rather a proposal, discussing the value of applying swimming techniques to that of military gymnastics training. It was an interesting idea, one that had never been brought about by any military or fitness scholar prior to the 19th-century, even though studies on health and on military had existed for centuries. This edition is illustrated with impressive full-page engravings depicting types of swimming, military equipment, and even a view of what future ‘swimming-soldiers’ would look like.
