Sobre este artículo
An impressive first edition of William Duncan's great English translation of Caesar's commentaries on the Gallic and Civil Wars, featuring stunning engravings of battlefield scenes and plans, maps of Italy, Egypt, Spain, Britain, and Rome, depictions of Druid, Picts, and German soldiers, as well as the iconic image of the Wicker Man. This copy with the scarce large folding plate of the buffalo, not often found in most copies. A beautiful example.
