Up for auction is a fascinating hardcover copy of the Larousse Encyclopedia of Modern History: From 1500 to the Present Day, published by Paul Hamlyn (New Revised Edition, 1972; Third Impression, 1973). This comprehensive reference book traces the broad sweep of international history from the age of discovery up to the mid-20th century. The interior features a wealth of maps, black-and-white illustrations, text diagrams, and striking full-color art reproductions. Condition: The internal pages, binding, and illustrations remain clean, crisp, and firmly intact. However, the original paper dust jacket shows some wear, featuring noticeable scuffing, creasing, and a prominent tear with paper loss at the top left corner of the spine/front cover area.
