Description

Two French book auction catalogues bound together. (1) The scarce catalogue of the French book collection of noted English bibliophile Robert S. Turner. This collection is important for the quality of the books it comprises, not the quantity. XV, 176 pp. 774 items precisely described. Priced throughout in a contemporary hand. (2) The extremely rare catalogue of the collection of Jacques Sieurin, composed mainly of sets of prints designed to "truffer" ("grangerize") editions of the classics. Sieurin, of course, was the author of the standard reference book on this subject, his "Manuel de l'amateur d'illustrations" (Paris: Labitte, 1875). 3, VII, 234 pp. 1427 (suites of prints) + 439 (books) items described. Priced throughout in a contempoary hand. 4to. Bound in contempoary quarter cloth and decorated boards. Uncut. Very good.
