An Alphabet of History (1905)

Mar 27, 2012



"Who frets about the mystery / Enshrouding all of history / On reading this will, maybe, see / We've made it plain as ABC." From Alexander The Great, "a victim of fate", to Zenobia, "the empress of Palmyra" - an illustrated ABC set to verse of history's big players (at least as envisaged in 1905).
