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.

Catalogue of books from the "Durdans" library of Archibald Philip Primrose 1847-1829 statesman sportsman biographer and noted bibliophile who succeeded his grandfather as the 5th Earl of Rosebery in 1868 and after two spells as Foreign Secretary in Gladstone's government served as Prime Minister from 1894 to 1895. In 1878 Lord Rosebery married Hannah Rothschild who in 1874 had inherited Mentmore from her father Baron Mayer Amschel de Rothschild. "Lord Rosebery had shown himself to have a precocious love of reading from a early age spending much of his time when at Chevening his mother's family house alone in the splendid library. His passion for buying books began while he was at Eton. He bought heavily at most of the finest late nineteenth-century sales. The 5th Earl's interests ranged widely and are amply reflected in his collection of continental books Perhaps its most striking feature is the number of landmarks of French literature and thought from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries; first editions of works by Marguerite de Navarre Montaigne Moli�re Pascal Montesquieu Marat and Madame de Sta�l; works relating to the Ligue the Fronde Quietism Jansenism the eighteenth-century philosophers and the Revolution.

Important Natural History Books from the Glenbow Museum. Sotheby's auction catalogue sale date: April 23 1994
Sotheby's New York auction catalogue for the sale held on 23rd April 1994. Laminated illustrated wrappers 4to. 38 pp 38 full-page colour plates. 38 lots. From the introduction: "Glenbow Museum's preeminent collection of natural history books with some of the finest 19th-century colour-plate books includes rare 19th-century folios by John Gould and Daniel Giraud Elliot and an outstanding 18th-century work by Cornelius Nozeman . Most of the natural history books were purchased from British dealers in the early 1960s mainly from Wheldon and Wesley in London. A few were purchased in New York. The subjects are primarily ornithological and combine scientific research with fine decorative art. The book collection has an almost complete set of John Gould's publications. This includes Gould's first multi-volume ornithological work the second of the folio series The Birds of Europe 1832-1837 the drawing for which was based on the important private and institutional collections of specimens in Europe. Gould's eight-volume magnum opus which occupied over half of his career is The Birds of Australia 1840-1869. A Monograph of the Trochilidae 1849-1887 considered Gould's masterpiece with its magnificent illustrations of hummingbirds as well as The Birds of Asia 1850-1883 unfinished at the time of his death and the popular five-volume The Birds of Great Britain 1862-1873 are included. Gould focused with obsessive clarity on the spectacle of the birds presenting striking forms and breathtaking plumage in carefully detailed renditions. Also in the collection is Richard Sharp's Monograph of the Jaradiseidae 1891-1898 which reproduces some plates from Gould's Birds of New Guinea. Another important work in the collection is Daniel Giraud Elliot's celebrated A Monograph of the Tetraoninae 1864-1865 for which he provided most of the drawings. As well as fine folios the collection includes full sets up to the late 1960s of the journals The Ibis 1859-1967 and The Auk 1884-1968. List of prices realized loosely laid in. Near Fine.
