{"product_id":"1846-adolphe-thiers-history-french-revolution","title":"1846 Adolphe Thiers History of the French Revolution","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSir Adolphe Thiers's monumental account of the French Revolution, here in the 1846 London edition published by C. Daly, translated from the French by G. T. Fisher and issued complete in two volumes. Thiers wrote as both historian and political actor, later serving as the first president of the French Third Republic, which gives this narrative an unusual proximity to power. The half calf bindings with marbled boards and gilt-tooled spines display beautifully as a matched set, and the engraved plates of Robespierre, Marie Antoinette, and the attack on the Bastille bring the period vividly onto the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Author | Adolphe Thiers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Title | The History of the French Revolution\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Translator | G.

The spine ends show small chipping. Foxing is visible throughout the plates and title pages, typical of steel engravings from this period, and there is light edge toning to the text blocks. Hinges, binding security, plate completeness, and any inscriptions to be confirmed in hand. A handsome and visually strong matched Victorian set with good shelf presence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51260869050646,"sku":"AMD-02969","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/April_drews_books_2026-6430.jpg?v=1777488266","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/1846-adolphe-thiers-history-french-revolution","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
