In the 1940's The Classics Club published a series of books designed to provide the general public with classic literature and works of distinction. Walter J. Black published the books and they were designed with a fine binding appearance that owners could collect and display without breaking the bank. The bindings are very nice and feature very nice sewn (not glued) bindings with red top stain to outer edge. The Classics Club logo appears on the front and title/author lettering on spine. They were handsomely displayed by owners and collected for both appearance and substance.
The Iliad by Homer is one of two epic Greek poems. This edition, 1942 Walter J. Black Publishing for The Classic Club series, has been translated by Samuel Butler and Edited by Louise R. Loomis. The decorative panels illustrating each book of The Iliad were designed by Lucy Cores of the Classic Club. The figures were taken from authentic reproductions of paintings on Greek vases of the 5th and 6th century.
