French writer Maurice Leblanc (1864–1941) is best known as “the creator of the fictional gentleman thief and detective Arsène Lupin, often described as a French counterpart to Arthur Conan Doyle's creation Sherlock Holmes.” In 1911, he had his novel La Frontière published, an exploration nationalism and patriotism prior to the First World War.

Shown here is the first US edition, translated by Alexander Teixeira de Mattos and published by the George H. Doran Company in New York (in association with Hodder & Stoughton in London) as The Frontier. The book was produced in two color variants, with the cover typography in all-caps Auriol.
