(Bookbinding) PRINTED BOOKS INCLUDING THE LEIPZIG COLLECTION OF FINE BINDINGS AND AUDUBON'S BIRDS OF AMERICA.
New York Christie, Manson & Woods International 1977 large 8vo. stiff paper wrappers 211, (7) pages
Catalogue of an auction held at Christie's in November 1997. The Leipzig Exhibition in 1914 included examples of bookbinding by Robert Rivière and Son. It only ran for a few weeks before the outbreak of the Great War when the books were hidden in the cellars of the museum where they remained for five years. When they were finally located after the armistice and returned to the owner, it was with great joy that they were discovered to still be in pristine condition. Also included in this sale were works by Audubon, Shakespeare, Melville, Galsworthy, and others. With eleven color and twenty-five black-and-white plates. Acquisition date stamped on front cover.
Price: $ 15.00 other currencies Order nr. 70030
