Commander R. A Oliver from A Series of Lithographic Drawings from Sketches in New Zealand (1852).ART+OBJECT is delighted to be offering a further selection of books and documents from two major New Zealand libraries.
The library of Arthur T. Pycroft was far too large to incorporate into one auction and as a result this sale includes further important early Maori printings, papers and documents, Maori war and World War I military histories, along with New Zealand and regional histories.
Also included in the catalogue are the contents of an impressive private South Island library of important contemporary New Zealand literature. It includes Caxton Club and Press publications, alongside other private presses, as well as early works by Allen Curnow, Denis Glover and James K. Baxter. Also of note are an original manuscript by Pat Lawlor for ‘Confessions of a Journalist’ and the proof edition of ‘Books and Bookmen’.
Further works from this large collection will be included in our June auction and entries for this sale are currently invited.
The auction is to be held on Wednesday the 22nd of February at 12 midday. It will consist of around 600 lots and we encourage inspection.
Viewing is on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th from 11.00am to 3.00pm and on Monday and Tuesday from 9.am to 5pm.
