All four volumes include fold out maps which have remained in tact. We love how the spines have faded from the sun and give more of an aged patina to the collection. The subject featured in all four books includes: Ancient History from Rollin and other Authentic Sources both ancient and modern containing the History of the Egyptians, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Medes, Lydians, Carthaginians, Persians, Macedonians, and the Seleucidae in Syria, and Parthians. Edited by Edward Farr; Published by Hurst & Co, New York, circa 1900. Wonderful set for history buffs, antique book collectors, and designers/stylists. See less

Binding is intact with slight wear and sun fading on the spine. Each volume has a book plate from a previous owner. The pages are clean, readable and a little foxed, but all tight and secure. The marbled paper covers are lovely. less
