Antique French 1910 “Handel” Music Biography by Romain Rolland

A beautiful antique French volume from the Les Maîtres de la Musique (“The Masters of Music”) series, this book is Hændel by noted French writer and music historian Romain Rolland. Published in 1910 Paris, this second edition explores the life, music, and work of composer George Frideric Handel. Each book in this collection features a different cloth binding. At that time, books were sold as simple paperbacks and the owners would choose custom cloth covers for their books at local bookbinding shops. These unique covers are part of the decorative appeal of these early French volumes. Please note the spine cloth has been faded and discolored due to sun exposure. Otherwise, the book is in good antique condition. Roughly 240 pages in total. Sourced in England. 1910
