PREHISTORIC PARIS
Something between a romance and ode to the newly-coined "paleoanthropology," Élie Berthet's The Pre-Historic World tells the story of everyday life for prehistoric people. The prolific French novelist (1815-1891) traces human development around what would become Paris, with his tale translated into English in 1880. This Alta Edition features charming illustrated cloth.
