How History Unfolds on Paper: Important Americana from the Eric C. Caren Collection, Part X

Freeman's - Philadelphia Sale #6515: Freeman’s - Philadelphia presents “How History Unfolds on Paper: Important Americana from the Eric C. Caren Collection, Part X,” which will serve as the culminating event of Freeman’s 250th anniversary celebrations. Caren has been called “The Babe Ruth of Historical Collecting,” as he assembled a collection of one million original items, including rare newspapers, books and pamphlets, broadsides, manuscripts, early photographs, ephemera, and printed records documenting pivotal moments in American and world history. The collection tells a broad and compelling story of America, highlighting communities and individuals whose voices have too often been overlooked. What distinguishes this sale is not only its scale and rarity, but the distinctly American narrative it presents.

The Freeman’s sale marks the tenth major auction of Caren’s extensive and carefully curated holdings. The previous nine sales have attracted international attention and strong institutional and private bidding.
