Europe History Appraisal

History of Europe by Carlton J. H. Hayes, Marshall Whithed Baldwin, and Charles Woolsey Cole

This is a vintage hardcover edition of 'History of Europe,' published by The Macmillan Company, New York. The title page showcases the primary authors: Carlton J. H. Hayes (Professor at Columbia University), Marshall Whithed Baldwin (Professor at New York University), and Charles Woolsey Cole (President of Amherst College). Opposite the title page is a classic frontispiece featuring a high-contrast black and white photograph of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece, symbolizing the classical foundations of European history. The book appears to be a mid-20th-century scholarly text, likely published between the late 1940s and early 1960s based on the academic titles of the authors. The pages show subtle signs of age-related toning (patina) but remain clean and free of significant Foxing or heavy staining. The binding seems intact based on the flush lay of the pages, and the paper quality reflects standard academic publishing of the mid-century era. The typography utilizes a clean, serif font typical of Macmillan's academic prints during this period. No major physical damage like tearing, water damage, or heavy creasing is immediately visible in the provided view, suggesting it has been kept in a stable interior environment.
