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. Near Fine top foreedge corner a trifle bumped. Photocopy of prices realized loosely inserted. Sotheby's, New York, auction catalogue for the sale held on 23rd April 1994 unknown

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. Fine. Sotheby's, London, auction catalogue for the sale held on 16th & 17th November, 1989 hardcover

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.

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.

The Library of H. Bradley Martin. Part IV : Highly Important French Literature Sotheby's auction catalogue sale dates : 16 and 17 October 1989
Sotheby's New York auction catalogue for the H. Bradley Martin Library sale held on 16th and 17th October 1989. Cloth cover ill 4to. unpaginated approx 400 pp profusely illustrated including many fullpage plates some in colour. 803 lots nos 520-1322 This part of the sale comprised Bradley Martin's superb collection of French literature from the 16th to the 20th centuries. "H. Bradley Martin was a great lover of all the literature of the Romantic period Lamartine Chenier Chateaubriand but he was also attracted by the revival of the novel at the hands of Balzac Flaubert Stendhal and Merimee. The poetry of the nineteenth century that of Hugo Baudelaire Verlaine for example naturally finds a place here. The collection moves into the twentieth century with Marcel Proust. A feature of the library is its collections of works by particular authors such as Balzac Sand and Hugo which are among the most important ever made. For Balzac the references to Pierre Duche or Gabalda are of lasting value. The two rare copies of Le Pere Goriot and La Peau de Chagrin derive from the library of Dr. Nacquart Balzac's personal physician and the library also includes his earliest works published under the pseudonyms of Saint-Aubin and Lord R'Hoone as well as numerous forgeries and first editions generally in original paper wrappers. Mr. Martin was not excessively concerned with the speculative value of his library. Alongside such prestigious items as a copy of Du cote de chez Swann inscribed to Anatole France and the various first editions of Baudelaire we find texts by less well-known authors such as Senancour 21 printed books an unpublished manuscript and letters and Corbiere. This quest for neglected authors accords perfectly with Verlaine's comment in Les Poetes Maudits where in speaking of Corbiere Rimbaud and Mallarme he states that 'one is hardly known another is unknown and the third is underestimated.' " - from the introduction. Also included were more than 100 autograph letters from Proust. Fine. Printed estimates loosely inserted. Sotheby's, New York, auction catalogue for the H. Bradley Martin Library sale held on 16th and 17th October, 1989 hardcover
