Title: Engraving Catalogues (Priced) for Season 1898-9
Description: London , Messrs. Christie, Manson & Woods, 1899. Paperback. An interesting hand-bound collection of auction catalogues from the years 1898 and 1899. Featuring more than twenty 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 what was 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 no loss. Internally, individual catalogues are firmly bound, the string that joins them together is also firm. Pages are bright and clean with just the occasional spot or mark here and there. Good . Ill.: None. Good .
