How to install older package version on Ubuntu 18.04?

Hello, I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 and I would like to install libboost-python version 1.46. Currently I have installed version 1.65:
Code:
wakatana@local-machine:~$ dpkg -l | grep libboost-python
ii  libboost-python-dev                        1.65.1.0ubuntu1                              amd64        Boost.Python Library development files (default version)
ii  libboost-python1.65-dev                    1.65.1+dfsg-0ubuntu5                         amd64        Boost.Python Library development files
ii  libboost-python1.65.1                      1.65.1+dfsg-0ubuntu5                         amd64        Boost.Python Library

Problem is that I'm unable to install older version. I've tried various ways:

sudo apt-get install libboost-python1-dev=1.46

sudo apt install libboost-python1.46-dev:
sudo apt install libboost-python1-dev=1.46
sudo apt install libboost-python-dev=1.46
sudo apt install libboost-python-dev=1.46-dev

But with no luck:

I guess following format is OK because it prints the message that libboost is already installed
Code:
wakatana@local-machine:~$  sudo apt install libboost-python-dev=1.65.1.0ubuntu1

libboost-python-dev is already the newest version (1.65.1.0ubuntu1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

But 1.46 equivalent did not worked for me:

I was also searching for *.deb package to install it using
Code:
dpkg -i

but I've not found version 1.46 on those sites
Ubuntu - Package Search Results -- libboost-python
Search Ubuntu's packages : Ubuntu

How can I install version 1.46 and do not break existing package manager configuration?
Why there is no version 1.46 on mentioned sites?
Thanks
