Offhand, the cover image looks like it was taken from one of those Victorian "costume of the ages" books. But it's also worth noting that the concept of "ca. 450 BC Frankish Celts" is nonsensical (the Franks weren't around until much later than that and they weren't Celts). Neither observation provides any level of confidence in the historicity of the illustrations.
