Tunbridge Wells, P.M. Barnard, [1911?-1933]
Twenty-nine volumes (20.5 cm), as issued, in publisher’s printed wrappers. - Percy Mordaunt Barnard (1868-1941), commenced his bookselling career in Saffron Walden, but by 1907 had moved to Royal Tunbridge Wells, where he remained for the rest of his career. He sold the Vernon Dante Collection to the John Rylands Library, in March 1914; a collection of deeds concerning the Kemeys family had been sold to the National Library of Wales a year earlier. In 1928, he was elected President of the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association. Unlike most booksellers’ catalogues of the period, Barnard provides thorough descriptions of bindings and often provenance details. Sotheby’s sold “a selected portion of the valuable stock of Mr. P.M. Barnard (of Tunbridge Wells, who is retiring from business as a general bookseller)” on 7 May 1934. ¶ Some wrappers worn across the back; staples rusted.
