Description
Mee, Arthur Harmsworth History of the World ( Complete 8 Volume Set ) , London: Carmelite House, 1908.
Complete Set in 8 Volumes. Contemporary Green cloth bindings with Black illustrations of world figures on fronts and Gilt Decorative design covering spines. Vol 1 has 800 pages and the pagination continues up to 6,576 at the end of Vol 8. Well illustrated World History from the Edwardian viewpoint, with many Monochrome Full Page Plates and In-Text illustrations and a few Colour Plates. 9 3/4" Tall.
Regrettably the back cover of volume 4 has been largely destroyed due to an over zealous puppy many years ago, hence the reduced price. The book itself is intact with no damage to any of the pages and could be repaired or replaced.
This can be seen in the 4th and 5th photos.
There is some understandable wear to the spines and covers and foxing to some pages; an example of this is seen in the third photo.
Priced at £10 a volume with the damaged volume free.
Still a beautifully illustrated set of a hard to obtain item.
