Valoración del vendedor:
A catalogue of a collection of 250 rings, brooches and related objects of ancient and mediaeval jewellery put together in the early 1850s for Lady Londesborough by her husband Albert Denison, 1st Baron Londesborough (1805-1860), first President of the British Archaeological Association and a prominent figure in antiquarian and archaeological circles. The initial impetus for the formation of the collection had been Lord Londesborough?s acquisition, via his friend and fellow antiquary Thomas Crofton Croker, of a group of 92 rings and brooches which had been assembled by George Samuel Isaacs (1825-1876), an enterprising but over-ambitious dealer in antiquities whose business had failed and who had needed to sell these to finance his emigration to South Australia. To these Lord Londesborough had added by purchase 158 further similar items, either from London dealers or through the sale room, and the present catalogue, compiled by Thomas Crofton Croker, records the totality of the resulting collection.The supplementary items acquired by Lord Londesborough mostly have stated provenances, and for these Croker?s catalogue is a most useful record. Identifying those items that formed the original collection made by George Isaacs is rather trickier, but it is reasonable to assume that where no provenance is stated the item is ex Isaacs, and this may help in reconstructing this phase of Isaacs?s career. Isaacs, a diminutive dandy with expensive tastes, was to go on to have an interesting, if chequered, career as a journalist, poet and novelist in South Australia, his most tangible achievement being the authorship of a novel, The Queen of the South, set in the South Australian goldfields.Croker states in his preface that it was his intention that Lord Londesborough should finance the printing of ?a few copies? of the catalogue, and it is evident that the only copies produced were for private distribution by Lord and Lady Londesborough. 4to. viii + 88pp, 2 folding engraved plates (by Basire), numerous woodcut text ills. Nineteenth century quarter red morocco, cloth sides. Original blue paper front wrapper bound in, carrying ink presentation inscription from Lord Londesborough. From Birmingham Assay Office Library, with their neat circular ownership stamp at foot of front free endpaper but no other library markings.
