This complete two-volume text set of Histoire de Jules Cesar was written by Emperor Napoleon III and published in Paris by Henri Plon between 1865 and 1866. Volume Two covers the Gallic Wars (Guerre des Gaules), composed with research contributions from French academic Prosper Merimee. Each volume is bound in black half-leather featuring gilt spine compartments and Napoleon’s crowned Imperial cipher stamped in gilt on the front boards.
Please note: This listing includes the complete two-volume historical text only. Great pieces from styling a library or to add to a collection.
CONDITION
Good antique condition. The leather spines and corners show minor rubbing, light shelf wear along the edges, and slight fraying at the spine caps. Some wear to the covers. The bindings remain firm and square. Interior pages exhibit light, sporadic age toning and foxing typical of mid-19th-century paper, along with early pencil notes on the front flyleaf. The text block is intact and clean throughout. Please review all photos for details.
