The colour illustration that was mounted on the front cover has come off and is tucked inside the front cover. 425 pages with numerous illustrations in color and black and white for 388 lots, followed by Bibliography of Principal References Cited in this Catalogue and Index. Biddin Slip included. From Sotheby's introduction: "This is the finest collection of botanical colour plate books ever offered for sale at auction. The collector, Mr. Robert de Belder, had both knowledge and means. He also had, and took, opportunities: he secured many of the very best copies from the Arpad Plesch collection, the Massachusetts Horticultural Library, virtually the entire rare book collection from the Horticultural Society of New York, as well as many other distinguished collections. Single-handedly, and single-mindedly, he created the greatest private collection of botanical books in the world-the equal of all but a handful of institutional holdings. From this treasure-house, the chief monuments of botanical illustration from the period 1600-1900, documenting the evolution of botanical art, have been selected."

A Celebrated sale of a collection of the monuments of botanical book illustration, assembled over a period of some thirty years by Robert de Belder, as a resource for the Arboretum Kalmthout. The books were acquired mostly from Bernard Quaritch, and when in the mid-1980s De Belder was obliged to sell, Quaritch quietly marketed the 4000-volume collection on his behalf. When no buyer could be found, Quaritch bravely took it into stock. The high-value books were introduced into this sale conducted by Sotheby's; estimated to realise between $4-4.5 million, the 388 lots realised $9,752,267. (28 x 22 cm), 425 (11) pp., illustrations (many in colour). 388 lots. List of prices realised and buyers' names loosely inserted. Publisher's red cloth,pictorial onlay. clean bright copy, no markings. 338 lots described over 425 pages plus 11 pages bibliography and index.

Once I left no further book sales took place in Scotland for Sothebys"; with his prices marked in lots 200-81, 30 August 1977 ("The Library of the Late Seton Gordon, C.B.E., F.Z.S. (removed from Upper Duntuilm [sic], Isle of Skye")), lots 1-887, 27-28 September 1979 (the whole sale), lots 170-312, 16 November 1981 ("Books of Scottish and Sporting Interest, the property of the Hon.

John Collins's personal coup for Sotheby's Edinburgh happened when he was working on the 1979 Signet Library sale. "Walking up the Mound one winter day towards the library," he recalled, "I saw clouds of dust over a skip and several sturdy fellows emptying canvas sacks of books into it. I pulled (with permission) several quite nice books out, including a copy of Goldie's book on David Laing and as the skip was destined for the dump, I investigated further." These were the Free Church College's books sold as lots 103-361, 27 September 1979 (sale codeword "SKIP"), famously including 342, "THEOLOGICAL BOOKS, an extensive collection of Theology, including many 17-18th. Cent. continental books sold as a collection, not subject to return[,] a small roomful", no estimate given - which went for £2500.

7 vols bound in one. Binder's blue cloth, gilt, retaining original wrappers, those of the first and second catalogues bearing the ownership signatures of John Pashby of Sotheby's. Loosely inserted Sotheby's printed lists of prices achieved, some prices written in; Dowell's catalogue a little creased, corner of upper cover missing, most prices written in. From the library of John Collins, with his pencilled notes on pastedown and, loosely inserted, the relevant extracts from Sotheby's sale for 11 June 1959, "Important Old Master Engravings and Etchings, American and Italian Views, Sporting and Costume Prints, etc . . . including The Property of the Society of Writers to Her Majesty's Signet [22 lots]", with printed price-list, an article by Collins, "The Signet Library Sales", extracted from The Scottish Book Collector, June/July 1988, and an old 3pp. manuscript titled in pencil by Collins, "typical M[acvey] Napier list of contents of a composite vol" (Macvey Napier, Signet Librarian 1805-37). John Collins, responsible for Sotheby's Signet Library sales in the 1970s, tells the story in The Scottish Book Collector: "The Advocates' library next door had overtaken the Signet Library as the premier library in Edinburgh, and in 1925 had become the National Library of Scotland (NLS). In 1958 the Writers finally made the sad but inevitable decision to make the library 'once more primarily a legal library for the use of its members'. There was a considerable debate when the decision was made public and it was decided that no Scottish books should be sold. Also the NLS (which having lived next door for so long had come to depend on the Signet) should be allowed to buy a number of books they wanted. So in the spring of 1959, Sotheby's sent up its strongest team, led by Anthony Hobson, the head of the book department and a partner in the firm, as had been his father before him. He was supported by two cataloguers, John Taylor and John Pashby, and Jock Campbell the celebrated book porter from Fife, 'Who fought at Bannockbourne, as some relate, / And joined the firme in 1898'. They stayed in a rather seedy hotel in the suburbs, chosen because the proprietor was, like Mr. Hobson, ex Scots Guards. If Mr. Hobson was surprised to find that his host was drunk every other night (sharing the shifts with his wife) he did not show it. Three or four days were spent in the library picking plums off the shelves and piling them on the floor: and in due course, 6 sales in London resulted . . . The NLS bought some 850 titles in about 2000 volumes, some before the sale, some at the sale when (as usual) Quaritch bid for them. Sotheby's having selected the best books didn't want the rest; this was their aristocratic way in those days, books aplenty as blackberries in a fine autumn, or so it seemed. Dowell's were given the left behind natural history and science and sold them on 31 May-1 June 1962. Although heavily lotted and entirely sold not subject to return, prices were very high indeed (shades of sales to come) . . ."
