Handbook of General History - Dr. J.A. Wijnne (1879)

A beautiful antique history book from 1879, written by Dr. J. A. Wijnne and published by J. B. Wolters in Groningen. The age of the book is already evident from the title; the old Dutch way of spelling words such as "algemeene" with two e's.

This Handbook of General History was used as a standard educational work and offers an extensive overview of world history, with particular attention to classical antiquity. The book is bound in a characteristic 19th-century cover with marbled boards and a linen spine with ornate gold lettering.

Not only interesting as a reading or study object, but also as decoration in a classic, eclectic, or historic interior. With the print on the spine, it will look beautiful on the shelf next to other books.
