Collection of early printing fragments originally from the Huth Library

Rare Books

This collection contains early printing fragments. The majority are leaves from early English books printed in London from 1492 to 1575, including items by Richard Pynson and Wynkyn de Worde. Printing from Edinburgh, the Netherlands, and Mallorca is also included, as well as two groups of 17th-century title pages (RB 131401:49) and miscellaneous frontispieces and engravings (RB 131401:50a). Originally bound in a folio scrapbook with Huth ex-libris, bound by Riviere in 3/4 red morocco with marbled endpapers, with some fragments laid in. In the late 1920s this was disbound and housed in boxes. The Huth library bookplate was preserved and housed in Box 1; whereabouts of the earlier binding is unknown.
