THE PROPERTY OF AN PRIVATE COLLECTOR
(Lots 139-228)
The following collection was formed over fifty years by an American collector of discerning taste. Included are books from some of the most celebrated sales of the last three decades, including those of the Marquess of Queensberry, Arthur Swann, Paul Francis Webster, Estelle Doheny, H. Bradley Martin, Richard Manney and The Garden Collection. The emphasis on fine condition and provenance is evident throughout, most notably in the three exceptional Sangorski & Sutcliffe bindings, the superb copy of London's Call of the Wild, and the very fine copy of Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby.
