Our October 22 auction presents 200 lots spanning an admirably broad range of collecting fields, from antiquarian pamphlets and private press rarities to modern first editions, ephemera, and the decorative arts. Among the highlights are a 1933 Cuala Press edition of Rossi’s Pilgrimage in the West, a complete woodcuts monograph on Dürer accompanied by exhibition catalogues, Skira’s tipped-in plate volume on Matisse, Munch, and Rouault, and three volumes of Forjaz’s Famílias Macaenses — a scarce genealogical record of Macau’s Portuguese families. Signed and inscribed copies appear throughout, including Updike’s A Month of Sundays and Problems, Mosley’s Gone Fishin’, Dalton’s Miguel Marmol, and Oates and Doctorow firsts, while García Márquez’s first American editions of Love in the Time of Cholera and Chronicle of a Death Foretold anchor a strong modern literature section. The auction also rewards specialists in typography and printing history, needlework and textile arts, New York City ephemera, Latvian displaced persons publications, early cinema and theatre programmes, and World War II rationing material, with curiosities ranging from a Kemble engraved chart of Columbus’s Atlantic voyages to a 1917 Ballet Intime promotional folder bearing photographs of Adolf Bolm and Roshanara.
