Lot Essay

The merger of the John Crerar Library with the University of Chicago Library in 1981 led to a comparison of the holdings of the two libraries and the identification of duplicates to be sold. The John Crerar Library was founded in 1895 under the terms of the will of John Crerar, a Chicago industrialist and philanthropist. Both collections date back to the end of the last century.

With missing plates but many issues complete. A complete list of plates is available upon request.
