Description

The papers of antiquarian booksellers Leona Rostenberg (1908-2005) and Madeleine B. Stern (1912-2007) are a remarkable record. Through business documents, correspondence, photographs, ephemera, and an extensive dual series of personal diaries, the Rostenberg & Stern archive draws a detailed picture of the long and busy life of this extraordinary couple in the antiquarian book trade, touching on their many friendships in the field, their popular books about these colleagues and their libraries, and about the enduring friendship that was the foundation of their shared life.
