1815–1850.
Description
Among the Grolier Club Library’s extensive collection of nineteenth century dealer catalogues is this annotated “shop set” of catalogues issued by Payne & Foss, perhaps the most important bookselling establishment in pre-Victorian London. These copies are marked with prices and, in some cases, buyers’ names, crucially important information for collectors and scholars.
