Harcourt Amory Catalogue 1932

One of the nicest things in the collection is this rare bibliography, really a catalogue of a collection. In 1932 to mark the centenary celebrations of Lewis Carroll’s birth, Flora V Livingston of Harvard compiled a catalogue of the Harcourt Amory Collection of Lewis Carroll, part of the Harvard College Library holdings. Sixty five copies were printed of which fifty were for sale. A Christmas greetings signed by Livingston is loose inside. I don’t know who the recipient was. Also shown is a book of personal verse written by Harcourt Amory and inside are some newspaper cuttings of his poetic contributions, signed “ Sylvia Throstle” his pseudonym.
