Books, Maps, Manuscripts & Photography

Welcome to our Spring Books, Maps, Manuscripts and Photography Sale offering a fine selection of antiquarian books and later work.

We are delighted to be offering an extensive and previously unrecorded archive of items relating to the great Victorian showman, author, and entrepreneur Albert Smith (1816-60). The scrolling diorama with scenes from the Alpine Rooms in the Egyptian Hall where he told his tales of climbing Mont Blanc that became such a feature of mid-Victorian society, must be one of the gems in the collection.
