A propos de cet article

1857 1st edition. 504pp + 12pp catalogue to front and rear. Fair/None.

Contents generally clean and tight but for minor soiling/browning, occasional splitting to gutters, occasional pencil notes to text, minor creasing, ink notations to reverse of title page.

His collection included armour and arms, furniture, porcelain, glassware, jewellery, paintings, silver, and lots more. The collection was dispersed by Christies in 1855, during a mammoth auction of over 4000 items, lasting days. This book contains beautiful images of some of the most prized pieces.…
