Over 180 lots to include a broad selection, from early antiquarian books to modern first editions, alongside illustrations, private press, manuscripts, maps and atlases, early photographs, and historic documents. Amongst the highlights is a group of Victorian ephemera including a Paper Peepshow of the Thames Tunnel, and a very unusual leaf-cut picture of workers around a derelict tower and trees. Of North-East interest is a collection of approximately 240 19th and early 20th century photographs, and an outstanding archive of early drawings and plans relating to Radcliffe and Broomhill Collieries.
