A beautifully bound three-volume set of Romance of History: France by Leitch Ritchie, published in London in 1834. This work blends historical narrative with literary storytelling, presenting episodes from French history through a more romantic and dramatic lens.
Richly illustrated with engraved plates throughout, the volumes bring together history, art, and narrative in a way that was highly popular in the early Victorian period. The marbled boards with leather spines and gilt detailing give the set a striking presence, equally suited for display and reading.
Rather than a strictly academic history, this series offers a more atmospheric interpretation of the past—making it especially appealing to collectors drawn to both decorative bindings and literary history.
Origin: England, 1834.
Material: Leather-bound volumes with marbled boards and printed paper pages.
Condition: Foxing and age toning throughout with expected wear to bindings, including rubbing to edges and light wear to spine; overall sound and well-preserved for age.
