See More... Bertrand, Jean. JEAN BERTRAND. BIBLIOTHÈQUE. AUTEURS PAR ORDER ALPHABETIQUE.[From spine labels:]
N.P. n.p. n.d. Book box, labeled as noted above (3320 x 255 mm), hinged on front joint, clasps, full calf over oak boards, two leather spine labels
Book box that, when opened, reveals four green paper-lined sections for catalogue cards (each 42 x 75mm), each section held in place by solid barriers with moveable lettered divisions. A charming and unusual private library catalogue containing a few hundred records in two alphabetically listed columns, with the two further columns filled with blank cards. Many of the card entries are pasted clippings from booksellers' catalogues, some as late as the 1920s. In some cases the clippings are pasted onto the verso of what appear to be earlier ink entries, giving the impression that the catalogue was used over many years. The books described make for a pretty miscellaneous lot of information that do not indicate any particular proclivity of the owner. There are, however, two card entries under Bertrand (Jean) for the Compte-rendu de la Session de Congrès central d'Agriculture for the years 1846 and 1847 respectively. Covers quite bashed with some loss of leather, with some worm drill holes, but all perfectly sound and the wear (arguably) enhances the distressed antique look.

Paris Hector Bossange 1845 8vo. later cloth xiv, 875-984, 802, (4), xi-xvi, 985-1221+(1) pages
Sales catalogue. Preface in French, English and Spanish. This a catalogue of all the great works in many languages that Hector Bossange claims to be able to procure in a modern edition in a variety of bindings. In his preface, he says that this catalogue is intended as a tool specifically for foreign book collectors and their agents to ease the ordering process of important books. Many of the books he lists do not have prices because, "being out of print, are only to be obtained with some difficulty or at second hand, and of which the prices vary according to their rareness and their condition." The back section contains only books pertaining directly to stationary and the arts and sciences. Bossange was also a procurer of objects other than books for foreign collectors. Ex-library copy with, title page repaired, and with perforated stamp, cover corners show wear. No plates.
