Comment Frame is clipped, book is off centre. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:17, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Is it some historical book that was badly damaged? I think the caption should mention it. Brandmeister^talk 11:14, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Looks like a French translation of the Iliad (or a book heavily referencing it), c. 18th century based on the fonts and paper. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 23:45, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ha. Nailed it: c. 1788 translation by Pierre-Louis-Claude Gin. Search for "Ceux qu'Hector immola" on http://iliadeodyssee.texte.free.fr/aatexte/gin/iliadgin/iliadgin19/iliadgin19.htm or see http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=7IdAAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA16&lpg=PA16&dq=%22Ceux+qu%27Hector+immola%22&source=bl&ots=w8hq3c1Ibt&sig=HM7OYsHXj3EUuc9EnQqnyOB0Z8U&hl=en&sa=X&ei=2GgNUpSlOMXv0gWfo4GACQ&ved=0CD0Q6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=%22Ceux%20qu%27Hector%20immola%22&f=false - Probably not particularly valuable if not illustrated. If it was, the person who so mangled it should be hurt. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 23:53, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Interesting. Brandmeister^talk 08:28, 16 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support per Adam (particularly his last line about mangling people who mangle valuable books) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:45, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Slightly hesitant support Good image, though I wish a corner wasn't cut off. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 15:59, 18 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Agreed with Adam, I regret that missing info as well. But completely fascinating and good EV. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 18:33, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
