Description
No marks or inscriptions. A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. Clipped dust jacket not marked or torn with fading to spine and adjacent margin of rear and traces of storage. 143pp. A fascinating and beautifully illustrated account of the rediscovery of the ancient city of Herculaneum which was submerged under a river of hot mud in A.D. 79 by the great eruption of Mount Vesuvius and a reconstruction of the daily life of the people who lived there.
