Featured in this auction is the 1814 first English edition of “Travels to the Source of the Missouri River and Across the American Continent to the Pacific Ocean,” which provides a detailed account of Lewis and Clark’s expedition across the unexplored Louisiana Territory, derived from the journals of the explorers.

An impressive collection of MacKenzie-Childs hand-painted, American-made ceramics and glassware is included in this catalog. This fine, collectible group features an assortment of dinnerware, lamps and other ceramic pieces including large serving platters, lamps, vases, plates, bowls and numerous other items. Each of these gorgeous, hand-designed pieces shows the beautiful distinctive designs and presentation of lively yet subdued colors for which MacKenzie-Childs is celebrated by collectors.
This auction also offers a fine collection of original oil paintings and engravings.
