Lord Elgin and the Marbles, William St. Clair, 1967

Lord Elgin and the Marbles, by William St. Clair.

Provenance; from the library of the late William St Clair (1937 - 2021), British historian, academic and author. No William St Clair signature or annotation. The book has another owner's signature to the half title and one ink annotation by them to the text. Just speculation, but perhaps William St Clair ran out of copies of his own book and had to purchase this copy elsewhere? Please see our other listings for related works.
