About this Item

An uncommon two volume set of books on Charles I and Oliver Cromwell. Commanding conflicting forces during the English Civil War, Charles' belief in the Divine Right Of Kings as well his marriage to a Roman Catholic was at odds with Cromwell's puritanical independence and belief in Parliament. Cromwell would be one of the signatories of Charles death warrant. Both incredibly divisive figures in their own eras and contemporarily, their lives are recounted an illustrated in great detail in this set by two of the leading historians of their time. Both volumes contain numerous illustative plates, and Gardiner's work is number 30 of a limited print of 1475. In cloth binding with gilt detailing. Externally very smart with only some minor rubbing to extremities and backstrip. Internally, the pages are firmly bound with only some light foxing throughout. Very Good.
