BLACK FRIDAY Deal-of-the-Day; A History of France by Victor Duruy — 2-Volume Illustrated Set, 1896

A handsome two-volume set of Victor Duruy’s A History of France, published by Thomas Y. Crowell & Company in 1896. Bound in rich ribbed burgundy cloth with gilt lettering and decorative gilt designs to the front boards, this handsome set has bright gilt top edges and a lovely presence on the shelf.

Duruy, a member of the French Academy, traces the story of France from ancient Gaul and the Roman period through the medieval monarchy, the French Revolution, Napoleon, and the political changes of the nineteenth century. This English-language edition was abridged and translated from the seventeenth French edition by Mrs. M. Carey, with historian J. Franklin Jameson providing an introductory notice and continuation through 1896. The set is richly illustrated throughout with portraits, architectural views, historical scenes, maps, and decorative engravings. 

 

Condition: Very good condition. Bindings are sound and pages are clean. Both volumes retain their frontispiece illustrations with tissue guards. Numerous illustrations throughout. Gilt top edges remain attractive. Please note a marking to the front board of Volume II, as shown in the photographs**

Size: 5 1/4” x 8”

A beautiful and substantial set for the Francophile, history reader, or collector of richly bound Victorian books.
