Preface on the collector by Andrew Robison. “In donating his collection to an art gallery rather than a library, Millard was attempting to build a bridge between the art historian and the bibliographer. The catalogue does the same” (from a review by Alison Shell, in Print Quarterly, volume 12, 1995, pp.91-93). ¶ Fine copy.- Subjects
