The Beck Collection of Illuminated Manuscripts. Sotheby's auction catalogue sale date: 16 June 1997
Sotheby's London auction catalogue for the sale held on 16th June 1997. Cloth mounted cover illustration 4to. 261 pp plates ills. 34 lots. From the introduction: "This Beck Collection is one of the most refined and important private libraries of illuminated manuscripts assembled in the second half of the twentieth century. The collection is not unusually large - hardly more than thirty items but is quite extraordinary in its range and quality. It includes manuscripts from eleven countries. It extends from early eighth-century Merovingian France to the Florentine renaissance and beyond. It includes two books of the ninth century: possibly the oldest western manuscripts which could ever again be offered for sale The texts represented are remarkably varied too. The Bible is the most important text of Christendom and the sale begins with a fragment of a Merovingian Bible lot 1 and the most breathtaking ninth-century Gospel Book lot 2 the oldest manuscript of the Gospels in private hands. There is a splendid romanesque volume of works attributed to Orosius Augustine and Bede the great church fathers lot 6. There are books of private devotion too four early Psalters and no fewer than eleven Books of Hours illuminated in five different countries. Many manuscript collections might go no further than books of liturgy and religious life and devotion but the present collection includes a fascinating group of secular texts. There is a remarkable ninth-century manuscript of Aristo�e one of the earliest known copies of the text and perhaps the oldest truly secular book in private hands lot 3. Medieval science and astronomy are represented in the Dragmaticon of William of Conches lot 10 and in a fascinating miniature of the winds lot 18. The origins of chivalric literature are represented in the Alexander romance Les Voeux du Paon in what may even be the dedication copy lot 17 and to a great extent in the Anglo-Norman metrical Apocalypse lot 14 with almost a hundred frenzied miniatures of the end of the world. This is the last English Apocalypse in private hands and the only known example signed by its artist. The single most striking feature of the manuscripts in the collection is the extent and consistent quality of the illumination. Infinitely more art from the Middle Ages survives in manuscripts than in any other medium. There is painting here by some of the supreme artists and illuminators of the Middle Ages including Gottschalk of Lambach one of the very few romanesque artists known by name lot 6 the Master of the Murri Missal lot 21 the Master of Guillebert de Mets lot 23 Ser Ricciardo di Nanni lot 29 and Attavante degli Attavante lot 30. By any definition these were outstanding artists. Probably the two most extraordinary books major manuscripts from the very beginning of gothic painting are the great Psalter of Mechtild of Braunschweig made probably for the son of Henry the Lion infinitely sophisticated and of quality as high as found anywhere in Europe around 1200 lot 9 and the haunting and barbarian St. Blasien Psalter from the mountains of the Black Forest studded with gold and silver certainly the greatest German gothic manuscript in private hands lot 11.

The Library of Frederick B. Adams Jr Part II Thomas Hardy. Sotheby's auction catalogue sale date: 7 November 2001
Sotheby's London auction catalogue for the sale held on 7th November 2001. Laminated illustrated wrappers 4to. 202 pp colour plates ills. Lots 370-601. From the introduction: "Fred Adams . gradually patiently and with the utmost discrimination succeeded in building up one of the greatest Hardy collections ever assembled - not the largest in sheer size but unsurpassed in its overall quality and importance.it must surely be the last such collection ever to be in private as distinct from institutional hands. Although Fred was acquiring significant Hardy editions from early on - the three original first editions of The Dynasts for example including the 1903 issue of Part First that he bought from Heffers's during his brief Cambridge University experience - he seems to have turned decisively to the collection of truly unique materials only in 1934 after he had summoned the resolution to seize a classically irresistible but "unaffordable" opportunity to acquire a long sequence of Hardy to Gosse letters that had originally been put together by T. J. Wise. He subsequently captured Hardy's youthfully purchased copies of The Boy's Own Book and Shelley's Queen Mab at the J. M. Barrie sale in 1937 and made several shrewdly judged purchases at the Hodgson sale of Hardy's library in 1938. Following the death of his friend Carroll Atwood Wilson in 1947 he actively assisted in the compilation of the two-volume posthumous catalogue of Wilson's large and various collection and was later successful in securing some of the very best of Wilson's many Hardy items including several that had been in the Grolier Club's Hardy exhibition of 1940. At the Sydney Cockerell sale in 1956 he carried off among other things the very first lot comprising the presentation set of the Wessex Edition with Hardy's own corrections in some volumes and Cockerell's insertions throughout of letters from Hardy and others. He bought also at other sales including those of the A. Edward Newton and Paul Lemperly collections and although he came away empty-handed from both of the Sothebv sales of the extraordinary Howard Bliss collection - the New York dealer Lew Feldman having swept up all the lots at the first sale and all but one at the second - he did obtain during that collection's final negotiated dispersal just those materials that he had especially coveted.Fred of course was by no means entirely dependent upon the saleroom for his acquisitions. In the nineteen-thirties and forties and even well into the post-war years there were still people around who had known worked for or corresponded with Hardy and Fred directly or indirectly gathered in much interesting material from such sources: Hardy's own working drawings for the family tombstones at Stinsford for example the originals of the Macbeth-Raeburn illustrations to the Osgood Mcllvaine "Wessex Novels" edition and programmes and script materials related to the dramatisations of Hardy's novels performed by the Dorchester amateurs known as the Hardy Players.It is scarcely surprising that such a man should have been so strongly and consistently drawn towards the more biographical and immediately' human aspects of collecting - to letters manuscripts and inscribed and association copies all categories richly represented in the present sale. Fred's basic holdings of Hardy editions from magazine printings and first editions to Clement Shorter's and Florence Hardy's privately printed pamphlets were of course extensive and very nearly comprehensive but the first editions in particular had been selected and purchased almost without exception for the sake of their inscriptions - and the personal relationships thus evoked - rather than for any significance they might have as items checked off on a "wants" list Slight creasing to fore-edges otherwise Very Good.

The George Abrams Collection. Sotheby's auction catalogue sale dates : 16-17 November 1989.
Sotheby's London auction catalogue for the sale held on 16th & 17th November 1989. Cloth paper cover illustration 4to 31 cm. unpaginated profusely illustrated including many coloured plates. 238 lots. It is remarkable that a collector of not excessive means should have been able over a relatively brief period to have formed so fine and wide-ranging a collection of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century printed books including so many volumes that from general freshness of condition and from quality of rubrication and decoration would stand out in any of the world's major collections. The Abrams collection of early printing reveals in many ways that it was formed by a calligrapher and graphic designer of distinction - a recent example of his work being Abrams Venetian the unusually readable and graceful typeface with a beautiful accompanying italic in which this catalogue is printed. Mr. Abrams' book collecting began with modern fine printing. Some fifteen years ago his focus shifted back in time to what may be considered the perennial source of the modern typographic movements: the earliest examples of European printing. Those who regularly handle early printed books are continuously if subliminally reminded of what William Morris was perhaps the first collector to grasp clearly: that many of the earliest printed books are not merely remarkable productions for their time; they are in fact highly successful solutions to a multitude of design problems of a kind that the modern graphic artist or typographer encounters daily in only slightly variant forms. They are or can be important teaching tools examples not to be copied but absorbed. As exempla of excellence the best printing of the fifteenth- and sixteenth-centuries is all the more effective for its lack of fuss its willingness to let the result speak for itself." - from the introduction. Very Good. Sotheby's, London, auction catalogue for the sale held on 16th & 17th November, 1989 hardcover

Art at Auction : The Year at Sotheby's 1983-4
Sotheby's Publications London first edition 1984. Cloth 4to. 416 pp colour plates ills. From the blurb: "Art at Auction 1983-84 reflects the highlights of the past auction season. Over 400 colour illustrations of the finest works of art described with prices cover the whole range of items available at Sotheby's Worldwide. The twelfth-century Gospel Book of a great German prince. Henry the Lion attraeted the attention of both the press and the public. The lavish splendour of its pages justified its reputation as one of the most important medieval manuscripts left in private hands. A packed saleroom listened with astonishment as the price rose quickly to �7.4 million the highest price ever paid at auction. Among the major collections sold this year were in New York furniture and decorations owned by Mrs Charles Wrightsman and Impressionist paintings from the collection of the late Erna Wolf Dreyfuss. In London pictures and works of art formerly in the possession of the late Lord Clark were d ispersed including Turner's freely composed canvas Seascape: Folkestone; this became the most expensive picture ever sold when it fetched �7.37 million. Furnishings from the late Florence J. Gould's villa at Cannes were auctioned in Monte Carlo. Many important works of art are discussed in detail by scholars and experts in the appropriate field: Dr Fritz Koreny of the Albertina Vienna reviews the significance of a hitherto-unknown panel painting by Hans Hoffmann which was probably executed for Emperor Rudolf II; Professor Theodore Reff of Columbia University New York examines Degas's pastel of Mary Cassa tt at the Louvre while Shirley Bury and Michael Snodin of the Victoria & Albert Museum London explore the cr�ation of John Flaxman's great Shield of Achilles. As well as being a splendid visual review Art at Auction is an important reference book for the amateur collector and expert. Very Good in used dustwrapper.

The Library of John R. B. Brett-Smith. Sotheby's auction catalogue sale date: 27 May 2004
Sotheby's London auction catalogue for the sale held on 27 May 2004. Laminated illustrated wrappers 4to 27 cm. 366 pp plates ills. 648 lots. From the introduction: "the library offered for sale is most of that which John Brett-Smith accumulated and retained as his personal collection at the time of his death supplemented by a few miscellaneous books which were the residue of his stock. It is dominated by the collection of English Literature of his favourite period: 1660-1730. Not the least important aspect of the Brett-Smith Library is the distinguished prominence of so many of the books. Indeed as the Index of Provenance below page 344 makes clear the vast range of notable collectors and libraries represented by the collection is virtually a selective guide to the history of English book-collecting over the past three-and-a-half centuries" The sale also included a group of works by "Elkanah Settle 1648-1724 self-styled "City Poet" featured in the library including a group encased in "Settle bindings'.' In the latter part of his career Settle became a purveyor of celebratory verses for the titled and wealthy and was responsible for initiating a style of binding that remained in vogue for more than two decades". Initials on half-title and title-page otherwise Near Fine. Sotheby's, London, auction catalogue for the sale held on 27 May, 2004 unknown
