New edition by Jean and Daniel Elsevier of Livy's Roman History, in Gronovius's edition. A title-frontispiece in volume 1, a second frontispiece before Livy's History. Full blonde calf bindings with crosshatching from the late 19th century signed Spachmann (English binding). Spine decorated with blind compartments. Blind fillet frames on the covers. All edges gilt. Spines slightly faded. Rich decorative gilt board-edges. Handsome copy, very fresh. The Elseviers also published Livy's Roman History in Daniel Heinsius's edition, which was a great classic in the 17th century.
