"The Comic History of Rome" by Gilbert Abbott à Beckett
A charming Victorian-era edition of The Comic History of Rome, written by Gilbert Abbott à Beckett and published by Bradbury, Evans & Co.

This title is especially appealing to collectors of classical history, illustrated books, and satirical literature, and it styles beautifully on shelves or desks where patinated bindings are appreciated.
Origin: London, 1830-1872.
Material: Tooled leather spine and marbled boards.
Condition: Good antique condition with wear to boards; spine in fair condition consistent with age. Handle delicately.
