1847 A CHRONICLE OF GENIUS, GENEROSITY & SAVAGERY

by Turtle Bunbury

Published by Gill Books. 1st. 2016

Fine condition in a very good dustwrapper. 36 stories from around the world that capture the spirit of the age of 1847, embracing the tales of the intrepid explorers who charted the Americas to show-stopping entertainers like Lola Montez and General Tom Thumb; the famine starved Irish to persecuted German emigrants; the ivory-tinkling genius of Liszt and Mendelssohn to the horse-bound Comanche warriors who dominated the Texan plains... and more. Black boards, gilt title to spine. Colour map of the world to endpapers. Colour & b/w illustrations.

Yellow dustwrapper is rubbed and grubby.
