The art of collecting military buttons in the Victorian Era?

"The Emilio Collection of Military Buttons", by Louis F. Emilio,
publ. The Essex Institute, Salem, Mass 1911

Captain Emilio started collecting just before 1890.

I also recommend these:

Shoulder-Belt Plates and Buttons by Major H.G. Parkyn which is an investment, and any of the books by Howard Ripley & Denis Darmanin. However, you can have your pick accordingly in the list offered here:
