GREEK HISTORY FOR ITALIAN CHILDREN
Giuoco di carte storiche contenente un compendio dell'istoria greca...
Milano [i.e. Milan].
G. Pirotta, 1815.
Dimensions 70 x 100 mm.
48 numbered cards, each with an engraved portrait vignette. Housed in original publisher's printed buff card slipcase. Cards lightly dust- soiled, very small holes to 20 cards - occasionally touching text with slight loss of sense. Slipcase heavily worn and marked, without head and foot panels, title partially (incorrectly) restored in manuscript, pencilled numeral '19' to foot of title.
An apparently unrecorded suite of cards, published in restoration Italy and seemingly intended for the instruction of children, providing succinct biographies of principal figures from ancient Greek history, including the likes of Leonidas, Socrates, and Alexander the Great.
