The library of George Spencer-Churchill (1766–1840) included some of the most sought-after incunabula of the period, a fine selection of Caxtons, spectacular botanical and emblem books, and the iconic Valdarfer Boccaccio. Reissued here together are the two parts of the 1819 sale catalogue, annotated by an auction attendee with details about prices and purchasers.
