Pictures, prints and taxidermic displays accounted for the larger part of the Ornithology Sale held by Keys (17.5% buyer’s premium) on September 22, but it also offered some 175 book lots, many of them multiples.
The collection of the late Dorothy Herlihy formed a large part of the book section, and included a copy of one of the scarcer ‘New Naturalist’ titles. Eric Simms’ British Warblers of 1985, signed by the dust wrapper artist, Robert Gilmour, sold at £720.
From other properties came the two items pictured here.
