Author: Messrs. Christie, Manson & Woods
Title: Engraving Catalogues (Priced) for Season 1901 & 1902
Description: London , Messrs. Christie, Manson & Woods, 1902. Cloth. An interesting hand-bound collection of auction catalogues from the years 1901 and 1902. Featuring more than twenty-five catalogues from the auctioneers Christie, Manson & Woods, known today simply as "Christie's", the world's largest fine art auction house. Each separate catalogue contains a comprehensive list of the engravings that were offered on the day, with a contemporary ink note of the eventual sale price in the margin. With an attractive, handwritten copperplate title to front wrap. Really a fascinating and unusual collection. Bound in cloth-backed paper wraps. Externally, a little worn to backstrip and extremities, as one expects from paper wraps of this age, but generally in good condition with minor loss to paper only. Internally, individual catalogues are firmly bound, the string that joins them together is also firm although no longer taut. Pages are bright and clean with just the occasional spot or mark here and there. Good . Ill.: None. Good .
