Description

7 vols., sm. folio, First Edition thus, with very numerous photographs, illustrations and maps throughout; in blue rexine binders, gilt backs, binders mildly bowed as usual else a very good, bright, clean set. In this set the outer series wrappers were discarded as intended; the bowing of the binders is due to sheer volume and weight of the contents. This major and profusely illustrated partwork was the result of several years of preparation, with numerous contributors working to the editorial board comprising Mortimer Wheeler, Hugh Trevor-Roper and A.J.P. Tayor - three of the most eminent historians of the period. The partwork was issued in 112 weekly parts intended to be housed in seven optional and separately issued branded binders. Consequently it required considerable time, effort and motivation to acquire and bind a complete set. UNSURPRISINGLY, COMPLETE SETS IN BINDERS ARE RELATIVELY UNCOMMON.
