Item description from seller

illustrated frontispiece + Title page + conditions of sale + note page + page 31 to page 83 pages (looks complete without loss) + index rear .

Contains all of the first 2 days of this famous sale from lot 1 to lot 564. with sold prices from about 2/6 (2 old shillings & six pence) to about £250. and is by the same hand as my other copy on abe .Alexander Meyrick Broadley was a gay and therefore notorious, but brilliant barrister, who was outed in India, and escaped before being finally arrested and was unable to return to England, so for many years lived in Tunis. After his death in April 1916 most of his collection was left to his nephew Lieutenant R.A.L. Broadley who set about selling it, although this sale of his collection contains books, prints and artefacts mostly relating to his Napoleon collection, it would appear some items were not sold at the auction. It is also known that Lord Curzon purchased a great part of his collection of his Napoleon collection which he donated to Oxford University ( and now resides in the Bodelian Library), and possibly the unsold items were withdrawn before the auction for Lord Curzon.Not the best copy, but rare to have some prices & buyers. Size: 16.5 x 24cm Approx.…
