[Rarebooks] FS: Antique Fans -1893 catalog of Schrieber Collection

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TITLE: "Catalogue of the Collection of Fans and Fan-Leaves presented to
the trustees of the British Museum by the Lady Charlotte Schrieber"

By Lionel Cust.
Published in London by Longmans & Co. in 1893.

DISCUSSION: The noted collector, Lady Charlotte Schrieber, had presented
her collection of antique fans to the British Museum in 1891, and had
catalogued the collection in two massive, illustrated folio volumes which,
even at the time, were quite expensive (and are today quite scarce and
several magnitude above “quite expensive” in price). This volume is an
un-illustrated summary of that information, with more concise entries.
Uncommon.

DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 6.5”x10”, viii + 138 pages. Publisher’s black,
ruled cloth with gilt spine title. No illustrations.

CONDITION NOTES: Ex-library with small spine number, 19th century
bookplate on the front pastedown, small stamp on the title page. Covers
lightly rubbed, crack (but tight) at pages 64/65 (see below), otherwise in
clean, nice condition.

PRICE: $125.00 net
