New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo. Four volumes, 1923-1924. Orig. green cloth, gilt titles, blind stamped floral borders. xxvi, 255; xxvii, 256-555; xxii, 557- 819; xxiv, 820-1180. With more than 1500 illustrations, including 100 full page plates in colour. One of the most beautifully illustrated works ever offered. Minor bruising to spine ends. Light foxing to edges of text blocks. Volume 2 has a small damp stain to lower front board. Volumes 2, 3 and 4 are tilted to spines. Dust jackets lightly bumped to extremities, a few small chips. A near fine set overall for the ancient history enthusiast. This new publication is not a dull historical record, but a vivid and sumptuously illustrated survey of all the marvels of antiquarian research in all parts of the world. While of great value to the student, it has been written for the ordinary reader, to whom it will come as a revelation of the magnificence of many of the ancient civilizations and the astounding beauty of their cities, palaces, temples, monuments and works of art. 0.
