A collection of thirteen volumes comprising a partial set of the encyclopedic work Peoples of All Nations: Their Life Today and the Story of their Past. The work was edited by J. A. Hammerton and published by The Fleetway House, London, likely dating to the early 20th century (c. 1922-1924). The set is noted on the title page as being Illustrated with upwards of 5000 Photographs, numerous Colour Plates, and 150 Maps. The volumes are uniformly bound in dark hardback cloth featuring extensive ornamental gilt stamping on the spines, which denote the titles and geographic ranges covered (e.g., Volume II: British Empire to Dahomey; Volume VI: South Africa to Wales). An internal inventory notation H.1504 is visible on the title page of Volume II.
