COUP DE FOUDRE

While we are far from the largest firm in these specialties, our customers include many important and prominent institutions, collectors and dealers - as well as the serious collector of moderate means. Whether in books and manuscripts (hard, human, exact & mechanical sciences; medicine; intellectual history; mountaineering and wine) or our other ventures, our holdings have included some of the most notable and important items to ever spring from the mind and hand of man. These include the 'Big Three' in science: De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium (Copernicus, 1543); Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Newton, 1687); On the Origin of Species (Darwin, 1859); medical items such as De Humani Corporis Fabrica (Vesalius, 1543); the sole available copy of the only known large-scale black & white lithograph executed by Audubon (The Clapper Rail, Philadelphia, 1842); a sofa from the workshop of Duncan Phyfe (NY, circa 1825); and a European cache of that nectar of the gods, 1947..
