Fine Books - Timed Online Auction
Sale #2701
We are lucky to feature a well-balanced sale this spring, with offerings in all major categories of rare book collecting. The sale kicks off with an interesting travel section featuring dozens of early and illustrated books with an emphasis on travel to the Holy Land. Early printed books from Incunabula to early modern will give bidders a chance to add to their collections. Art books also make a strong showing, with signed copies of books illustrated by Picasso, Miro, Calder, Delaunay and many others, including a deluxe signed set of Derriere le Miroir volumes in custom slipcases.
Bibliophiles will also be pleased to find the fine bindings, press books, and a fabulous group of finely bound and illustrated editions of the Omar Khayyam. Literature fans can browse important first editions and important signed works by nineteenth and twentieth-century authors. The sale ends with science, medicine and technology. We are very pleased to present the first 50 lots in the collection of the late Owen Gingerich, Harvard Astronomy Professor and book collector extraordinaire. Keep an eye out for more of Professor Gingerich’s collection next fall.
