The Glaisdale Agricultural Library: The Private Collection of a Yorkshire Agriculturalist Over the course of several decades, Yorkshire agriculturalist Martin Burtt assembled an extraordinary library of antiquarian agricultural books, which he carefully and sympathetically cared for and had repaired. The collection focuses on books from the 16th to 18th centuries, spanning the transition from an era when it was considered dubious to attempt to improve on God’s Creation to the advent of the Age of Reason with its huge rise in literacy, invention, experimentation, and applied rationality. The great agricultural writers all appear in the collection, which covers the obvious subjects connected with farming and husbandry, such as breeding of livestock, improvements in land use, crops, developments in technology and veterinary practices as well as other niche subjects from falconry, brewing, gardening, botany, beekeeping and dogs to rat catching and cheese making. 10:30am VIEWINGS: Tennants Auctioneers North Yorkshire, UK More info |

Valuable and Important Books and Manuscripts from the Library of Edward R. Leahy Valuable and Important Books and Manuscripts from the Library of Edward R. Leahy comprises the finest collection of modern illuminated manuscripts and jeweled and other magnificent bindings since the auction of Phoebe Boyle nearly a century ago, as well as important incunabula, English literature from Spenser to Tolkien with a particularly deep well of Charles Dickens and Samuel Johnson & his circle, works relating to Captain Bligh and the Mutiny on the Bounty, and a fine collection of horror including first editions of Frankenstein, Dracula, and a presentation copy of the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Quietly assembled with taste and discernment over more than a half century, the authors and the works are important, and the copies in this collection are particularly noteworthy for their extraordinary condition and provenance, coming from the greatest sales of the modern era, including a remarkable fourteen lots from Phoebe Boyle's collection as well as volumes from the libraries of Jerome Kern, A. Edward Newton, Paul Francis Webster, Estelle Doheny, H. Bradley Martin, Richard Manney, William E. Self, and Cornelius Hauck. 12pm VIEWING (NY): TOUR: Christie's - New York New York, NY More info |

Age of Wonder An auction spanning categories to highlight the most significant figures of the modern age. By the dawn of the 19th century, new understandings of astronomy and geology were becoming a part of popular discourse. Despite this, science itself had yet to produce its own theory of creation. Through On the Origin of Species (1859), however, Charles Darwin had written what is now considered a new Book of Genesis. Liberated by science, man’s reach was suddenly boundless. As the citizens of the 19th century came to accept the findings of their Romantic forebearers, culture soon caught up. With Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein animated by electricity, Dickens’ Little Dorrit offering an exploration of climate change within London, and photography able to capture with immediacy the essence of existence, society was obsessed with the possibility of science, as well as the wonder it inspired. 10am EXHIBITION: Sotheby's - New York New York, NY More info |
