Sobre este artículo
Chatto & Windus,, [1994-2001]. 4 vols., 8vo., First Edition [save first volume], with numerous plates and endpaper maps; black cloth, gilt backs, a near fine set in dustwrapper. Complete set of first editions (save first volume which is second impression) of Kynaston's masterly biography of 'the City', widely acclaimed as an outstanding historical and financial study. Vol. I: A World of its Own 1815-1890 (1994); Vol. II: Golden Years 1890-1914 (1995); Vol. III: Illusions of Gold 1914-1945 (1999); Vol. IV: A Club No More 1945-2000 (2001). Individual volumes are already scarce as first editions; a complete set is extremely difficult to find, especially in this condition.
