Former Owners

 

 

• Trace known and legible former owners and make notes in 852 field - information comes from the official file, case numbers penciled into copy, book plates, and autographs 
• Books with the Warwick Castle Shakespeare Collection were also owned by Halliwell-Phillipps; always note and trace the latter when Warwick Castle is involved.

ǂz Bookplate: Shakespeare Library, Warwick Castle. Half leather binding with marbled paper boards and endpapers. Halliwell-Phillipps copy.

• Trace binders when stamped or known
• Richardot: this binder's work is recognizable, although not all of the bindings are signed
• If the binding is signed, transcribe the stamp and trace
• Unsigned; spotted marbling; floral tooling and landscape title on spine; 1/4 cloth proportion="Bound by Richardot" and trace
• Unsigned and three out of the above four characteristics="Probably bound by Richardot" and trace
• While many books bound by Richardot are from the library of Edward Dowden, do not trace Dowden when the copy is unstamped
• Duplicates: trace former ownership when duplicate copies are indicated
• Example: "H.E.H. dup." signifies that copy came from Huntington sale. Either quote or interpret the handwritten note:
