Elegant Chronological Ancient World History
This is a beautiful chronology interspersed with both single-word and lengthy annotations of events, all elegantly displayed and presented. For example, the first entry: :”Cain, the First Man Born of Woman, he followed husbandry, he murdered his Brother, and went to live in the land of Nod, where he built the first city, and named it after his first son, Enoch: his posterity were called the Children of Man” (all this being printed in about 2-point in a 1.5” square). The set of six engravings: $450
