sought-after prints; significant historical documents and
photographs; collectible books and manuscripts; dazzling
posters and exceptional examples of African-American

Among the notable private collections offered this fall
are the most extensive selection of Aldine Imprints to

largest collections of European and Western printed
Japan-related maps in private hands; and a remarkable
