Online Catalogue #50

Highlights of our latest catalogue include rare occult titles, many by or about Aleister Crowley. Militaria is also heavily represented, with many unique items. Not least is the deluxe menu and autograph album from the dinner given by the entrepreneur and politician Hugh McIntosh for VC winners on Armistice Day 1919: our copy is signed by sixteen of them.

Rare photographs include two albums with 110 hand-coloured images of 1880s Japan by Adolfo Farsari; a stereo-daguerreotype by Disderi of the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1855; two Australian items depicting racial stereotyping, and a fine early portrait of an Adelaide Indigenous woman and child by Saul Solomon.

Our range of Folio Society publications offers an affordable indulgence with a handsome set of a favourite author: Churchill, Collins, Doyle, Eliot, Gibbon, Greene, Hardy, Nesbit, Orwell, Peake, Shakespeare, Tolkien, Trollope, Waugh or Wilde.

Happy browsing!
