Cartography, Books-on-Books, Antique, etc.

This catalog presents a select arrangement of rare, antique and decorative books. Featured is our next session from a large private library of bibliographies and other books-on-books. Deluxe antique bindings will be offered along with an array of titles relating to the history of cartography, including relating to America. Antique and rare books are numerous in this catalog. Among the earliest examples are the 1691 printing of du Pin?s ?De Antiqua Ecclesiae Disciplina Dissertationes Historicae,? the 1789 first edition of de Warville?s anti-slavery title, ?Memoire sur les Noirs de l?Amerique Septentrionale,? and Beveridge?s ?Institutionum Chronologicarum,? produced in 1705. Additional interesting selections include Burton?s ?History of Scotland,? published in 1876 and complete in nine volumes including the index, a scarce author-signed limited edition of Bennett?s ?The Old Wives Tale,? printed in two volumes in 1927, and the 1840 folio binding of Britton?s ?Graphic Illustrations with Historical and Descriptive Accounts of Toddington.? Works relating to the history of cartography include a scarce full run of the Map Collectors? Circle works and other critical reference titles. The library of books-on-books includes bibliographic works, histories of printing and private presses, and niche publishing topics such as Jewish books. Of particular note are the 1896 first edition Crane?s ?Of the Decorative Illustration of Books Old and New,? the very tightly limited edition of Hahn and Dumaitre?s ?Histoire de la Medecine et du Livre Medical,? and the scarce ?Bibliography of the Fine Books Published by the Limited Editions Club.? Additional areas covered include bookplates, magazines & periodicals, bookbinding, illustration, American printing, medical, children?s, incunabula, manuscripts and much more. Found throughout this catalog are other compelling selections from categories such as limited editions, signed copies, history, literature, military, theology and more.
