A rare American edition of Rev. Alfred J. Church’s celebrated retelling of Herodotus’s accounts of the Persian Wars—this beautifully bound copy is an elegant blend of history, literature, and art.

Features:
Publisher: Dodd, Mead & Company, New York (late 19th century)

Binding: Slightly crooked but sturdy spine with original boards, brown matte endpapers (a vintage detail often reserved for premium bindings)

Illustrations: From the antique, engraved using electrotyping

Pages: Clean, with no loose leaves; vintage typography and layout throughout. Though there is some foxing, what looks to be slight water/condensation stains, and one small tear on one of the first few pages
